FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — North Dakota State University receives a new doll collection for the Emily Reynolds Historic Costume Collection.

It’s being showcased as part of the diversity of dress around the world on the second floor of Lebedeff  Hall.

The dolls were made by sculptor Joan Beringer Pripps. Usually, dolls are donated anonymously. The dolls represent different backgrounds from Africa, Asia, North America, and Europe.

The curator of the exhibit says this collection is a learning opportunity for everyone.

“We’re so isolated in the center of North America and so by being able to collect different representations of people from different parts of the world and different ethnicities, we’re able to teach about that within our classes,” Curator of the Emily P. Reynolds Costume Collection, Ann Braaten said.

The collection will be available for one year. You can find a link to more information here.
