Eli Broad once said, “Contemporary art challenges us . . . it broadens our horizons. It asks us to think beyond the limits of conventional wisdom.” This ethos runs through the veins of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, which centers the study and appreciation of art as integral to the larger educational and cultural values of Michigan State University. Eli Broad was a beloved steward of art and a philanthropist of unparalleled impact.
