The International Quilt Museum is home to the world’s largest publicly held quilt collection, dating from the early 1600s to present and representing more than 65 countries.
Its mission is to build a global collection and audience that celebrate the cultural and artistic significance of quilts. The museum is many things to many different people: it’s a treasure trove of quilts from around the world spanning five centuries, a unique academic program and resource attracting scholars from far and wide, a connection point for quilt enthusiasts of all sorts, and a world-class museum with state-of-the-art exhibitions, digital galleries and stunning architecture.
The International Quilt Museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums; it also holds memberships with the American Alliance of Museums and Association of Academic Museums and Galleries. It enjoys a partnership with the North American Reciprocal Museum Association (NARM) and Blue Star Museums, honoring active members of our military and their families with free admission between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

We have many plans to celebrate America’s 250 including a Quilt Show across the state of Nebraska during June and July 2026. We will share information on our website and social media about how individuals, quilt guilds, other groups and organizations (from museums, civic centers, fairs, shops and churches, etc.) could be involved in the celebration (quilt exhibits, donations of quilts and other items to Veteran’s and nursing homes, hand’s on activities for all ages, etc.) to show our pride in America!
