The Kent State University Museum is home of extraordinary collections of historic dress, fashion, textiles and decorative arts. Here you will find works by many of the world’s great artists and designers, known and unknown, from across time and continents.
The museum was founded in 1982 alongside the Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising and offers invaluable, first-hand experiences for students, faculty and staff at Kent State University. The museum also serves the culturally rich communities of Northeastern Ohio as well as global audiences through the loan of objects to museums, scholarly research and traveling exhibitions from the distinguished collection.
While you may not be able to visit the museum in person at this time, it can come to you through their comprehensive YouTube channel. Though this channel, you can deep dive into the museum's vault with Director, Sarah Rogers, to view many fun and interesting videos, including one about the Culture/Counter Culture exhibit with Curator, Sarah Hume.
We miss concerts. We miss dressing up for an evening out with friends and loved ones to experience music. So, in an effort to in some way fill this need a bit, the Hugh A. Glauser School of Music is bringing their live music performances to you!
You can catch upcoming Livestreaming performances on their livestream channel, or view past concert performances on their YouTube Channel.
We invite you to dress up, grab a beverage and enjoy a concert from the comfort of your own home!
