The Tweed Museum at the University of Minnesota Duluth has the largest collection of paintings by Gilbert Munger.
His brother Roger was a founder of Duluth. Roger and his descendants have provided the nucleus of the collection over the years. The collection grew significantly in the 1990s with a bequest of paintings from Robert Orcutt of Madison, Connecticut, Gilbert’s birthplace. Other individual paintings have been acquired or gifted over the years.
