Exhibition on Display: Sept. 9–Dec. 14, 2025 Tues.–Fri. 9 a.m.–8 p.m.; Sat.–Sun. Noon–6 p.m. Since 1989 when the Runyon family donated a fantastic collection of 19th and 20th century art and decorative art, the Forsyth Galleries has set about amassing a fantastic collection that we enjoy sharing with the community. Those who love and appreciate the collection have, in turn, donated or loaned a significant number of items including paperweights, Asian art, early American pewter, American Brilliant Cut Crystal, 19th century quilts, small furniture items, as well as additional paintings, works on paper and art glass. This exhibition celebrates their generosity and, we hope, will inspire others to share their treasures with the University. THANK YOU! To inquire about donating works of late 19th and early 20th art or to make a contribution to the Forsyth Galleries, contact Assistant Director and Curator Elizabeth Appleby at eappleby@tamu.edu (mailto:eappleby@tamu.edu).
