The NIU Art Museum in DeKalb presents curated exhibitions exploring themes of visual culture and the diversity of human experience. Visitors explore galleries featuring rotating exhibitions such as Celebrating 40: Burma Art Collection, which highlights selections from the university's extensive collection of art from Burma displayed in the North Gallery, Rotunda, and hallway cases. The South Gallery features The Olmec Heads Experience, offering sculptures, educational displays, family activities, and a graphic history of monumental sculptures inspired by the ancient Olmec civilization. The museum collaborates with the university's School of Art and Design and regional institutions to present award-winning original exhibitions and national traveling shows. Located in Altgeld Hall on the Northern Illinois University campus, the Art Museum serves the NIU community and surrounding region. General admission is free.
