In honor of Memorial Day, join University Museums for a free guided tour of the public works of art that commemorate service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. The tour begins in the Memorial Union’s Gold Star Hall with an introduction by Kathy Svec, retired Memorial Union staff member and founder of the Gold Star Hall Ceremony. Along the way, discover the history of these campus landmarks and the memories they have preserved over time.

Art Walks are a regular event series highlighting the University Museums’ Art on Campus Collection, offering audiences the opportunity to explore the breadth of public art across Iowa State University's campus. Led by University Museums staff or docents, these guided tours are free and open to the public. For parking and accessibility information, please visit the University Museums website.
