Marie Eccles Caine Collection

Accessed by entering the Museum's lobby and descending the stairs adjacent to the reception desk.

The Marie Eccles Caine Foundation seeks out key Western artworks that offer new twists on the story of twentieth-century American art. The core of the collection explores certain key art historical moments, as evidenced by healthy examples of Los Angeles Post-Surrealism, Santa Fe Transcendentalism, Bay Area Abstract Expressionism, and San Francisco Funk. Focusing on works made after 1920s, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art has quickly become one of the most important repositories of modernist works made in the West.

Nora Eccles Treadwell Harrison Ceramic Collection

Located on the second floor of the Museum, south of the elevator or accessed by ascending the stairs and walking through the temporary exhibition gallery. The vessel tradition ceramics collection at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of art at Utah State University has been carefully assembled over the last 25 years through generous bequests, gifts, and purchases. In a little more than two decades, the collection has grown to more than 1,200 objects and represents the vessel tradition as crafted by over 400 artists. The collection has become the largest regional repository of modern and contemporary American ceramics.
