Founded in 1997 with a selection of nearly 950 quilts donated to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln by native Nebraskans Ardis and Robert James, the museum now houses the world’s largest quilt collection, which is exhibited in custom-crafted galleries and state-of-the-art research space in a new green building designed Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The collection features quilts from early examples of American and European quilts to contemporary studio and international quilts, with over 4,000 pieces from 24 countries.
