The story
The Goldstein Museum of Design, abbreviated GMD, is a museum on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. It is part of the university's College of Design. GMD was founded in 1976 and is the only museum in the Upper Midwest specializing in designed objects. The museum holds around 36,000 objects, about 21,000 of those relating to costume and fashion accessories. GMD promotes object-based learning and the collection is available as a teaching and study resource to students and faculty at the university, professional designers, special interest groups, members of the public, and the local community. Most of GMD's collection was acquired through donation, often from Minnesota residents. About 20% of the collection has been digitally photographed and is available to view on-line.
