As you await all that is to come in the new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, you can still access pieces of our collection from home using Marble! Marble (Museum, Archives, Rare Books, and Libraries Exploration) is the museum’s searchable online database designed to make distinctive cultural heritage collections from across the University accessible through a single portal. Browse online at marble.nd.edu!

The Marble site is a collaboration between the Hesburgh Libraries and the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame. In this unified discovery space, users have free, public access to a selection of digitized, distinctive cultural heritage materials.

Join us for the last Notre Dame Day celebrating the Snite Museum of Art!

Your 2023 generous giving will support student experiences during a historic moment for the arts on campus as we transition to the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art.

Donations will help us to launch opportunities in our new home and directly impact our wonderful student workers and volunteers who act as ambassadors within the Museum and beyond.

Remember: we’re competing for shares of the Notre Dame Day challenge fund and prizes, so every donor matters! Even a $5 gift has an outsized impact on supporting student experiences at the Museum, so consider spreading the word and inviting others to help us continue to foster inquiry, dialogue, and wonder through meaningful engagement with original works of art.
