If you love something, let it go...

After nearly three years, Seeing in 360 Degrees: The Zaha Hadid Design Collection will close on July 2, 2026, to make way for the next exhibition in Gallery 202. Beginning August 22, a portion of We Are This Land: Meditations on the Great American Experiment will be on view in this gallery!

But we’re not saying goodbye to these Zaha Hadid objects. The MSU Broad Art Museum holds the largest collection of Zaha Hadid Design works in North America. Totaling more than 150 objects, the collection includes tables, chairs, a bookshelf, jewelry, clothing, sunglasses, vases, platters, and more. And the largest Zaha Hadid work in the collection? Our building, of course!

“My work invites viewers to engage with light the way artists and scientists do, as something to be observed, shaped, and cared for.” —Jan Tichy
