Kruizenga Art Museum (KAM)

The Kruizenga Art Museum (KAM) is a 15,000 ft2 college art museum located in Holland, Michigan. Situated within the heart of the Hope College campus; the museum was designed to serve as an educational resource for both the campus community and the other colleges and schools in the area. The museum features two galleries, and a classroom for viewing select pieces not on display in the exhibits. The collection housed in the museum consists of more than 1,000 objects representing a variety of traditions but with a particular emphasis on Asian art. The KAM is the first facility in the college's 150-year history built to display its permanent collection of art.

The museum’s collection includes approximately 1,000 works of art that have been donated to or purchased by Hope College. Approximately half of the artworks in the collection come from Europe and the Americas, while the other half come from Asia and Africa. Most of the works in the collection date from 1600 to the present and span a broad range of genres and media, from paintings, sculptures and prints to decorative arts and religious objects. Moreover, this blend of diverse artwork reflects Hope's student profile; the first graduating class of Hope College had 6 students, two of whom were Japanese.
