Opening Reception for Museum of Art's 60th Anniversary Exhibit

Thursday, September 7, 2023

In celebration of 60 years of transformation, growth, and service, the Museum asked 10 individuals, from the University and local communities, to curate “mini” exhibitions. The guest curators reviewed the collection database, examined works in collection storage, and crafted their selections. Their entries express their individual points of view and perspectives. They vary greatly in style and content, depending upon their interests and focus.

This exhibition celebrates the great range and quality of works in the permanent collection of more than 5,200 works of art, dating from 1,500 BCE to the 21st century, and demonstrates the Museum’s continued commitment to excellence. While it features only a small portion of the resources represented in the expansive collection, the depth and breadth of the collection is exemplified by the works that have been selected. We hope the works of art highlighted here will convey a sense of the collection’s importance, particularly for object-based learning with students, faculty, and the public.
