Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising

The Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising is Colorado State University’s historic apparel and textiles collection. It weaves scholarly appreciation of the material culture of dress and textiles as a vital strand in the fabric of our communities. Included here are materials from two Avenir exhibitions, Kuna Molas: Sewn Stories and the Interplay of Tradition and Change (2014-2015) and Threads of Our Community: A History of the Avenir Museum (2020).
