Since December 2011, to mark our 2012 Centennial year, the Muskegon Museum of Art organized two key exhibitions to honor the old and ring in the new, presenting visual narratives of the Museum’s ongoing endeavor to achieve the best, high-quality permanent collections possible. Pictures of the Best Kind celebrated a significant variety of works gleaned from our first 100 years of formidable collecting. New Art for the New Century unveiled entirely new objects acquired on the occasion of the MMA’s 100th Anniversary. Now, nearly a year later, ReMix: The New Permanent Collection combines the best of both worlds, revealing a more refined collection that has evolved and expanded dramatically in a short period of time. Building on our traditional strengths and introducing new directions, our finest artworks–both old favorites and new friends–have been recombined and blended anew to allow fresh discoveries, kinships, and perspectives to develop as we begin to shape our second century.

ReMix is underwritten by Fifth Third Bank and Brickley DeLong, Certified Public Accountants.
