The Bak Museum is making an impact in our community.  Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center has welcomed more than 12,000 visitors since its opening in February 2023. 


As a free-admission public museum based within a university, SBMLC is uniquely positioned to provide robust research-based programming to visitors, offering discovery, conversation, and self-reflection opportunities. SBMLC’s programming includes K-12 field trips and engagement with all regional school districts, university collaborations including academic, faculty lectures and coursework, student led service learning, and numerous community partnerships with local nonprofit organizations.


Each Museum exhibition features a “call to action,” and encourages visitors to contribute to a more equitable society. Every interaction at the Museum is meaningful. Samuel Bak’s vast and varied artwork draws out history and his lived experiences of persecution and perseverance. Observing and studying his art and gathering to have important conversations become exercises in hope, offering us a fuller and richer sense of humanity, and helping us embody the ways of compassion and progress as we all work toward a brighter future.


We hope you will consider donating today to ensure the Museum’s mission reaches more visitors and impacts our communities in ways only your gift can make possible.


Thank you for believing in the Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center and for your support.
