#BingCollects is back for the fourth time this year! Initiated in fall 2022, this pop-up exhibition is a collaboration between the Binghamton University Art Museum and the Libraries Special Collections. It aims to raise student awareness of both collections’ rich holdings available for them to explore. Pop-ups are held in different locations on campus throughout the year, and feature objects from our collections on a common theme and sub-theme.  

Come and see our pop-ups around campus throughout the year, and enjoy cool art and books up close, ask questions and chat with librarians, curators, and museum interns. Learn about the history of protest and activism available in our collections, or just enjoy the artwork and other historical material. Everyone is invited! Be on the lookout for where #BingCollects pops up next!

The following pop-ups are scheduled:
