The Hallie Ford Museum of Art was opened by Willamette University with the support of Hallie Ford and The Ford Family Foundation in 1998. The museum’s collection contains a wide variety of donated art including early 1900’s Native American Baskets, Mark Sponenburgh’s collection of approximately 250 European and Asian pieces, as well as works from local Oregon artists.

Since its opening, the museum has become a highly valued intellectual and cultural resource for Willamette University’s liberal arts program as well as the City of Salem and the surrounding region. Visitors can participate in educational tours, gallery talks, and adult only docent-guided tours.
