If you are looking for a way to spend an afternoon or would like to schedule a formal, guided tour of the Forsyth’s collection and exhibits, please contact Trudy Holladay, Program Coordinator at 979/458-5460 or at tholladay@msc.tamu.edu
The MSC Forsyth Center Galleries, one of Texas A&M University’s art museums, is home to the Bill and Irma Runyon Art Collections. The scope of the Runyon Collection includes a world-class selection of English Cameo glass, Tiffany and Steuben glass, and other important 19th and 20th century art glass. Also included are important American paintings featuring works by members of The Eight, Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, and Frederic Remington. To provide our guests the greatest access to the Runyon Collection, we rotate our display of Runyon Collection objects three times per year.
Whether you visit us through our website or in person, our goal is to provide you with engaging and informative resources that allow you to be aware of, and to respond to, the world in new and thoughtful ways.
Founded in 1989 with a gift from J.W. “Bill” Runyon (TAMU Class of 1935).
