Preface Museums, galleries, and related facilities at American universities and colleges play an important cultural role on academic campuses and their communities and regions. They serve as informal instruments of education with their exhibits and programs; keepers and researchers of artworks, specimens, and historical objects; and sources of enjoyment in the art, science, history, and other fields. They are invaluable resources in instruction, research, and public education. This study looks at the history, operations, and offerings of 1,736 museums, galleries, libraries, planetariums, observatories, science centers, sculpture gardens, aquariums, botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, nature centers, and other museum-like facilities located at 822 universities, colleges, and related organizations. This volume is an update on a similar study of more than 1,100 facilities published in 1996. They represent about 10 percent of the nation’s museum world. Some of the nation’s earliest collections and museums in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were at such university and college campuses at the College of William and Mary, Dartmouth College, Georgetown University, U.S. Military Academy, and Harvard University. Many of the best-known and highly regarded museums, galleries, and related facilities today are located on university and college campuses, including such places as the Harvard Art Museum; University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology; Yale University Art Gallery; Birch Aquarium at Scripps at the University of California, San Diego; Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago; Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles; and Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum at the University of Texas at Austin. The number and quality of academic museum-like institutions keeps increasing, despite difficult economic conditions. But some have closed and other have made cutbacks in recent years for financial and other reasons. This study shows the diversity, strength, and importance of academic museums, galleries, and related facilities, as well as some of the problems they face in the years ahead. I wish to thank all those who helped to make this overview possible.
Introduction America’s College Museums was first published in 1996 by Greenwood Publishing Group as University and College Museums, Galleries, and Related Facilities: A Descriptive Directory. This second edition is completely revised with more educational information, more museum listings, and five indices. It is arranged in two major sections. College Museums: Remarkable & Important Cultural Resources The first section of America’s College Museums is a comprehensive overview, in eight distinct chapters, of the workings of college museums — governance, funding, programming, admissions, and collection development. The author explores how these institutions continue to thrive, and how they develop and house remarkable, valuable, and diverse collections. Many college museums are on the forefront of scientific research, and most serve not only as an important educational center for the student population, but also as a bridge to outside communities. Collections vary from a few display cases to significant buildings that house major collections and valuable works of art. This new edition begins with a comprehensive history of America’s college and university museums. You will read about how the first academic art collection was started in 1732 at the College of William and Mary when the third Earl of Burlington gave the college a portrait of physicist Robert Boyle. Other starting dates include the first military collection at the U.S. Military Academy in 1777 and, in 1784, the first geological collection at Harvard University. This section discusses more than 25 different types of institutions, including Art Museums, Archaeology Museums, Science Centers, Health Museums, Music Museums, Sports Museums, and Archival Galleries. It includes governance patterns and management structures, details on missions and objectives, and dwindling collections at many facilities. The different kinds of exhibits, almost always with a focus on education — as well as which attract the most attendance — are also included in this edition. From talks and lectures to camps and field trips, exhibits vary greatly. Some are collection-based, some focus on contemporary research, and some depend on changing student work. Finally, this section ends with commentary about the future. Despite economic challenges, the total number of academic galleries, museums and related facilities continues to increase every year — emphasizing “the importance of such art, history and science facilities in teaching, research and the cultural life on campus.” Following Chapter 8 is a list of the 26 photographs in this edition of various museums and galleries, with detailed captions.

Directory of Museums Section two includes detailed profiles of 1,763 facilities. They are arranged in 24 major categories, from Archeology to Zoology, with many categories comprising several related themes, for a total of 48 distinct subjects that include Herbariums, Fashion Museums, and Aquariums. The Other Types category offers a Treasures of the Sea Exhibit, and museums of paper, culinary arts, clocks, broadcasting, and turf grass. Each profile begins with the name of the college or university, the specific museum, and its city and state. A detailed description follows, including historical facts about its origins and collections, information about its physical space, and what visitors can expect to find: works of European Masters; student and faculty artwork; enveloping, room-size works of art; tips on how to hunt for treasure; circus performances; and one of the largest button collections. Valuable contact information follows each museum description — address, phone, fax, email, web site, visitor hours, admission fees and, new to this edition, a key contact person. These current details make this edition of America’s College Museums a valuable guide for students, travelers, collectors and researchers alike. Indices In addition to the chapter index on page 141, four more indices follow the directory section, for a variety of ways to access the wealth of information in America’s College Museums: – University and Museums Index: Alphabetical by college or university, this index lists the college and each facility associated with it. The listing for Arizona State University, for example, includes its 12 related facilities. – Museum and University Index: Alphabetical by Museum or related facility, this index lists the specific name of the museum and the college it belongs to. – Geographic Index: Alphabetical by state then city, this index includes the name of the museum and its affiliated college. – Key Personnel Index: Alphabetical by last name, this index includes key contact people for each museum in this edition, their title and affiliation. Appendices 1: Founding and Opening Dates ranges from the first documented opening in 1732 to several planned openings in 2012. 2: Selected Bibliography provides nearly 100 books, articles, and reports to aid in research of this topic.
Chapter 1
An Overview and History “Museums” once had a narrow definition. They had to have collections of artworks, specimens, historical materials, or other objects; a professional staff; exhibits; and open to the public on a regular schedule. Today, museums take many different forms—and often with other names. This is especially true on the campuses of American colleges and universities where some have such unusual museum names as Idea Place, Discovery Zone, and Insect Zoo. The word “museums” now is used as an umbrella term that includes such museum-like facilities as art galleries, science centers, planetariums, observatories, aquariums, zoos, botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, nature centers, and library collections, archives, and exhibits with museum characteristics. Some lack collections, do not have exhibits, are not open to the public, lack professional staffs, and/or do not call themselves museums. Virtually every type of museum can be found on the collegiate campus—and sometimes at other locations operated by universities and colleges. This study includes descriptions of 1,739 museums and related facilities at 825 universities, colleges, and related organizations in the United States—nearly 10 percent of the approximately 17,500

“museums” for the nation, as estimated by the American Association of Museums. Many institutions have more than one museum facility. And there are other museums for which information was not found for this study. The university and college facilities in this study are divided into 24 categories. The largest numbers are in the art field, with 910 sites, slightly more than half of the total. They include 668 art galleries and 242 art museums and sculpture gardens. Art galleries usually feature temporary exhibitions of contemporary art and often do not have collections, while art museums have collections, usually long-term exhibits and changing exhibitions, and frequently oversee outdoor sculpture gardens on the campus. But it sometimes it is difficult to distinguish galleries from museums because some art galleries call themselves museums and some art museums use gallery or other terms in their names, and their functions sometimes overlap. Science museums rank second in the number of listings, totaling 520. The most numerous science facilities were planetariums and observatories, with 153, followed by botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and nature centers, 108; natural and cultural history museums, 71; archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums, 66; geology and mineralogy museums, 46; and medical, dental, and health museums, 25. Other science-oriented facilities include science and technology museums and centers, 18; entomology museums, 11; zoology museums, 8; paleontology museums, 7; and marine science museums and aquariums, 6. The totals for other categories include historical museums, houses, and sites, 110; ethnic museums and galleries, 49; library and archival collections and galleries, 32; religious museums and galleries, 28; costume, textile, and fashion museums, 21; general, 20; sports museums, 18; agricultural museums, 15; photography museums and galleries, 9; music museums, 6; and other types of museums, 78. Most universities and colleges with museums, galleries, or related sites have one or two facilities. But some have an extensive list of such resources. Arizona State University has the largest number of museums and related facilities with 39, but some sites are only small displays of art or collections outside this study. Among the other institutions with more than a dozen museums and other sites are Harvard University, University of Michigan, Pennsylvania State University, Michigan State University, and University of California, Berkeley. Most university and college museums are operated by academic departments, although a few, such as the University of Delaware and Iowa State University, are administered through a “University Museums” office. Some institutions have ways for campus museums and related facilities to work together on matters of mutual interest, such as the “Museum Committee” representing all 39 sites at Arizona State University, and the “Berkeley Natural History Museums” that provides services and organizes joint programs

for the six campus natural history museums and eight field stations at the University of California in Berkeley. Some colleges and universities also have museums at contracted government facilities or operated by historical societies, religious groups, or government agencies. In the observatory field, many colleges and universities work together in consortiums to develop, share, and manage expensive viewing facilities on mountain tops—frequently with funding from the National Science Foundation. They include such consortiums as the Association of Universities for Research Astronomy, Associated Universities, Inc., and University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Smaller groups of institutions also have banded together to operate observatories and other research-oriented facilities. EARLY COLLECTIONS AND MUSEUMS Universities and colleges were among the first to establish collections and museums in the nation—often at or shortly after an institution was founded. The collections usually were started with gifts of artworks or historical objects, or by faculty members gathering materials for teaching and research. The first academic collections began in the eighteenth century. In 1732, the College of William and Mary started an art collection when the third Earl of Burlington gave the college a portrait of physicist Robert Boyle. It was followed in 1772 with gifts of artworks and antiquities that resulted in a collection at Dartmouth College, and an art collection initiated at Georgetown University in 1789. Several campus collections in other fields also began in the 1700s. The U.S. Military Academy started its military-oriented collection after materials were brought back from the 1777 British defeat at Saratoga during the Revolutionary War. A vast geological collection also had its beginning at Harvard University in 1784. But it was not until later that museums were established. Many college and university museums and museum-like facilities predate public museums. The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum in Philadelphia is now the oldest museum in the nation. It was founded in 1805 and opened in 1807 by painter/scientist Charles Wilson Peale, sculptor William Rush, and other artists and business leaders at the time. The first exhibition was presented in 1811, featuring over 500 paintings and statuary. Among the other early academic collections, museums, and other facilities established in the early nineteenth century were the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, 1811; the medical library at Yale University that later became the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Medical Library with museum-like collections and exhibits, 1814; The Rotunda at the University of Virginia, 1819; the first University of Alabama specimens for what became the Alabama Museum of Natural History, 1831; Trumbull Gallery, which later evolved into the Yale University Art Gallery, 1832; University of Michigan cabinet of scientific specimens that was converted to the Museum of Zoology and then the University of

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum, which was founded in 1805 and opened in 1807, is the nation’s oldest museum. Its original building was destroyed by fire in 1845, and replaced in 1876 by this structure—the Furness-Hewitt Building, now a National Historic Landmark. The building still serves as the museum’s home, with some exhibitions also being presented in an adjacent building. Courtesy of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fne Arts Museum.

Michigan Exhibit Museum of Natural History, 1837; Harvard College Observatory, 1839; The Citadel Archives and Museum, Haverford College Arboretum, and Willamette University Art Museum, 1842; U.S. Naval Academy Museum, 1845; Warren Anatomical Museum at Harvard University and Alabama Museum of Natural History, University of Alabama, 1847; Beneski Museum of Natural History, Amherst College, 1848; and University of Wisconsin-Madison Herbarium, 1849. The second half of the nineteenth century saw the acquisition of numerous collection materials that later became part of new academic museums, including a set of engravings in 1855 now in the University of Michigan Museum of Art collection and geological specimens in 1856 that developed into the Strecker Museum at Baylor University in 1883. During this period, the Laws Observatory also was founded at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1853; West Point Museum, U.S. Military Academy, 1854; Virginia Military Institute Museum, 1856; Michigan State University Museum, 1857; University of Iowa Museum of Natural History, 1858; and two Harvard University museums—Museum of Vegetable Products (later renamed the Botanical Museum of Harvard University) in 1858 and Museum of Comparative Zoology in 1859. As the nation recovered after the Civil War, the second half of the nineteenth century saw the expansion of higher education (partly because of the Morrill Land-Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890) and the founding of many art, science, and other types of museums and related facilities. The Morrill Acts, which provided federal land grants to states for the creation of agricultural and technical colleges, resulted in more than 100 new universities and colleges and numerous museums, such as the University of Nebraska State Museum in 1871; a University of Minnesota museum in 1872 that later became the Bell Museum of Natural History; and the Geology Museum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1877. The first African American museum—Hampton University Museum—also was established in 1868. Another new development was major funding of university and college museums by wealthy donors—and the naming of the facilities for contributors. The practice largely began in 1866 with the founding of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History—both made possible by philanthropist George Peabody. In the years that followed, colleges and universities sought increasing financial assistance for museums and other educational activities from successful alumni, business leaders, and patrons of the arts and other fields. The Peabody museums were among the growing number of academic museums involved in archaeological and anthropological expeditions and research during the second half of the nineteenth century. They included such other museums as the Johns Hopkins University Archaeological Collection, 1884; University of Pennsylvania Museum

of Archaeology and Anthropology, 1887; Harvard University Semitic Museum, 1889; and Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago, 1894. Other science-oriented facilities established during the nineteenth century included the Harvard University Herbarium, 1864; University of Kansas Natural History Museum, 1866; Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, 1872; W. J. Beal Botanical Garden, Michigan State University, 1873; Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum, 1874; John Payson Williston Observatory, Mount Holyoke College, 1881; University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum, 1887; and Orton Geological Museum, Ohio State University, 1892; and Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College, 1894. Art museums and galleries continued to be founded during the nineteenth century, but the emphasis was on science as the century came to a close. Among the art facilities established during the second half of the 1800s were the Vassar College Art Gallery (which became the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center), 1864; Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, 1877; Princeton University Art Museum, 1882; Stanford University Art Museum (now Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts), 1891; and Fogg Art Museum (which became part of Harvard Art Museums), 1895. TWENTIETH CENTURY EXPANSION The twentieth century brought a boom and dramatic changes to the field of academic museums. The number of museums and related facilities greatly increased with the development of non-collecting art galleries, the opening of new types of museum-like sites, and the placing of greater emphasis on serving the public in addition to teaching and research missions. More and larger academic museums were being funded and named for major donors, and an increasing number honored faculty members and museum directors who were instrumental in their development. Some universities also became the home of unaffiliated museums, managers of defense research laboratories and museums, and members of consortiums to share expensive observatory facilities. The 1900s began with the continued emphasis on natural history and other science museums. The University of California at Berkeley now has six science-oriented museums, all of which originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology was founded in 1901 and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, funded by Annie Montague Alexander, in 1908. They followed the establishment of the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley in 1890 and the University and Jepson Herbaria in 1895, as well as the start of collections in 1874 for the University of California Museum of Paleontology, founded in 1921, and the beginning of collecting in the 1880s that led to the Essig Museum of Entomology in 1939. The largest number of new collections, museums, and related facilities during the first two decades of the century were in the natural history and other science fields. They included such places as the North Museum of Natural History and Science at Franklin and

Marshall College, 1901; University of Colorado Museum of Natural History and A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum, Michigan Technological University, 1902; Wilder Observatory, Amherst College, 1903; Matthaei Botanical Gardens, University of Michigan, 1907; Museum of Classical Archaeology and Art and Museum of European Cultures (which later became the Spurlock Museum), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1911; Harold L. Lyon Arboretum, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1918; and University of Arizona Mineral Museum, 1919. They were followed by such facilities as the Dittrick Museum of Medical History, Western Reserve University, 1924; Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan, 1928; Fryxell Geology Museum, Augustana College, 1929; Cranbrook Institute of Science, Cranbrook Educational Community, 1930; McDonald Observatory, University of Texas at Austin, 1932; L. H. Bailey Hortorium, Cornell University, 1935; and Palomar Observatory, California Institute of Technology, 1948. New art museums (including some called galleries) also were being founded at an increasing rate during the early twentieth century—many the result of private gifts. . Among those established were the Busch-Reisinger Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums), Harvard University, 1901; Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester, 1911; Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College, 1917; Mulvane Art Museum Washburn University, 1924; Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington, 1927; University of Kansas Museum of Art (became Spencer Museum of Art), 1928; Robert Hull Fleming Museum, University of Vermont, 1931; University of Oregon Museum of Art (now Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art), 1932; and Ball State University Museum of Art, 1936. One of the first specialized art museums also was founded in 1900 at Alfred University—now known as the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. An early museum that combined art and another field also was established during this period. It was a museum of art and archaeology, which was established at Emory University in 1920 and later became the Michael C. Carlos Museum. Collections of costumes, textiles, and fashion also were being founded, including the Drexel Historic Costume Collection at Drexel University in the 1920s, Mount Mary College Historic Costume Collection, 1928; and Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection, Indiana University, 1935. The first collegiate art galleries that did not have collections and featured changing exhibitions began to appear during the early 1900s. They often were started by art departments primarily to exhibit the works of art students and faculty, and often were located at universities and colleges that did not have art museums. Today’s galleries, however, usually also display the art of local, regional, national, and/or international artists, schedule traveling exhibitions, have small collections, and/or show selections from the college or university’s permanent collection. Some institutions have multiple galleries.

Galleries now constitute more than one-third of the academic museums and related facilities. Among the early galleries in this category were the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, 1915; Schick Art Gallery, Skidmore College, 1926; and Norman R. Eppink Art Gallery, Emporia State University, 1939. Colleges and universities also started to become more active in developing historical museums, houses, and sites, as well as museum-like facilities at campus libraries and archives, during the early twentieth century. The Hall of Fame for Great Americans, a 630-foot open-air colonnade with bronze busts and commemorative plaques of nearly 100 honorees, was opened by New York University on its University Heights Campus (now part of the Bronx Community College) in 1900. Among the diverse other historical museums established during this period were the Ronald V. Jensen Living Historical Farm, founded in 1917, which now is part of the American West Heritage Center operated by Utah State University; Lee Chapel and Museum, honoring General Robert E. Lee, located at Washington and Lee University since 1928; Ralph Foster Museum, founded in 1930 at the College of the Ozarks, devoted to the history of the region; Ash Lawn-Highland, the 1799 home and plantation of President James Monroe, opened to the public by the College of William and Mary in 1931; Fort Belknap Museum and Archives, which tells the story of a Texas frontier fort built to protect settlers in the Red River area, was restored with WPA funds in 1936-37 and now is operated by Texas Wesleyan College and a historical society; and Kentucky Library and Museum, founded at Western Kentucky University in 1939, which traces the history of the state. Academic museums and related facilities also were being founded at the turn of the century in such other fields as musical instruments, religion, marine sciences and aquariums, and ethnicity. They included facilities like the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at the University of Michigan in 1899 and Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments in 1900; Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection, Texas Woman’s University, 1901; The Jewish Museum, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 1904; Scripps Institution Aquarium (now Birch Aquarium at Scripps), 1905; Quayle Bible Collection, Baker University, 1925; and Lois E. Woods Museum (which later became the African Art Gallery), Norfolk State University, 1935. MID-CENTURY WAR AND ENSUING EXPANSION World War II in the early 1940s brought major changes to the nation—and especially universities and colleges and their academic museums. Campus enrollments and activities dropped dramatically as the nation responded with military enlistments, defense work, and wartime volunteering. It reduced the attendance and virtually brought a halt to the establishment of new academic museums, galleries, and related facilities. On many campuses, the institutions and their faculties became involved in wartime research and development.

In some instances, leading universities were asked by the federal government to staff and manage new scientific research laboratories. The University of California at Berkeley, for example, operated the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The University of Chicago was given responsibility for the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. Other universities also became involved in government research facilities, particularly in the energy field. The Universities of California no longer operates the Livermore laboratory, but it still manages the Los Alamos laboratory and its museum, the Bradbury Science Museum. At Fermi laboratory, the University of Chicago’s management responsibilities have been assumed by the University Research Association, a consortium of 90 research universities. The Lederman Science Center, a hands-on science museum, now serves as the visitor center for the laboratory. Most other university operational activities also changed after the war. The government/university wartime experiences impacted future cooperation between the federal government and universities, as well as among the institutions themselves. Universities began to work together through consortiums, particularly in the astrophysical field, and to develop and manage observatories and other large-scale facilities largely funded by the federal government. The consortiums include such organizations as Associated Universities, Inc., founded by nine universities in 1946 to develop and manage large, complex, and costly laboratories and other science facilities; Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, a 1957 consortium now consisting of 37 American universities and other institutions and 7 international affiliates, that operates four astronomical observatories and carries out the scientific mission of the Hubble Space Telescope through its Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore; and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, established in 1959 with National Science Foundation support, which includes over 100 university members and affiliates and operates a National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. Some colleges and universities also are members of such other groups as the University of California Observatories, California Association for Research in Astronomy, and individual observatories like MDM and WIYN on Kitt Peak in Arizona that share facilities. After difficult times during World War II, academic museums grew rapidly, especially in art, history, and science. Among the many new art museums were the Mead Art Museum, Amherst College, 1949; Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, 1952; Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavilion, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1961; William Benton Museum of Art, University of Connecticut, 1966; Elvehjem Museum of Art (now Chazen Museum of Art).

Arthur M. Sackler Museum (now part of the Harvard Art Museums), 1985; and Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, 1996. Among the new facilities were the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, housed in a stunning I. M.-Pei-designed building at Cornell University, 1973; Hood Museum of Art, whose collections began in 1772 at Dartmouth College, 1985; the University of Florida’s Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, which became the largest art museum in the Southeast, 1990; Brigham Young University Museum of Art, which moved into a new building in 1993 and now serves 327,000 visitors annually; an innovative stainless steel building designed by Frank O. Gehry for the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities; 1993; the 155,000-square-foot Blanton Museum of Art, which succeeded the Arthur M; Huntington Gallery founded at the University of Texas at Austin in 1963; and Nasher Museum of Art, established as the Duke University Museum of Art in 1969 and expanded into a new facility designed by noted architect Rafael Vinoly in 2005. The period also saw the growth of museums devoted to a single area of art and museums that combined art and another fields or were in related disciplines. Among the new specialized museums were the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, University of California, Los Angeles, 1956; Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, 1963; Asian Arts Gallery, Towson University, 1971; Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury State University, 1975; Yale Center for British Art, 1977; and Kentucky Folk Art Center, Morehead State University, 1985. The new dual-purpose art museums included the Museum of Art and Culture, University of Montana, 1956; Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri-Columbia, 1957; University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 1963; and Gregg Museum of Art and Design, North Carolina State University, 1979. More museums and galleries of costume, textile, and fashion collections also were developed, and new photography museums emerged. They included the Museum of FIT at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 1967; Paley Design Center (now the Design Center at Philadelphia University), Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, 1978; UCR/California Museum of Photography, University of California, Riverside, 1973; and Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, 1975. An increasing number of sculpture courts, museums, and gardens also were developed by colleges and universities in the second half of the 1900s. They included the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum, with more than 1,000 works, founded in 1988 at Saginaw Valley State University, and such outdoor sculpture gardens as the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, University of California, Los Angeles, 1967; Henry Lay Sculpture Garden, St. Louis University, 1996; and Elizabeth and Bryon Anderson Sculpture Garden, Iowa State University, 2007.

Many of the campus sculpture gardens also are managed by art museums, including the Stanford University outdoor collection by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts; the Ursinus College sculpture garden by the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art, and the University of Minnesota’s “Public Art on Campus” program by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum. The largest growth in new college and university museums and related facilities in the second half of the twentieth century was in art galleries with little or no collections that presented changing exhibitions by students, faculty, artists, traveling exhibitions, and works from college and university permanent collections. Among the new galleries were the Boston College Art Gallery, 1958; Sawhill Gallery, James Madison University, 1967; University of West Florida Art Gallery, 1970; Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, 1986; and Leore Degenstein Gallery, Susquehanna University, 1993. Some institutions have multiple art galleries, including Bowling Green State University, with 3 galleries; Ohio State University, 5 galleries; Savannah College of Art and Design, 10 galleries; Ringling College of Art and Design, 12 galleries; and Moore College of Art and Design, 15 galleries. A number of art galleries have museum-like art collections, long-term exhibits, and educational programs, including Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College; Picker Art Gallery, Colgate University; and Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture, University of Tennessee at Knoxville. SURGE OF HISTORICAL AND LIBRARY MUSEUMS Historical museums, houses, and sites are the largest museum category in the United States. They received their greatest impetus during the 1976 bicentennial observance when thousands of local history museums were established to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the nation. Some academic historical museums—usually institutional or regional history museums—also were founded at that time, including the Georgia College and State University Museum, Museum of Southern History at the Houston Baptist University, Mountain Heritage Center at Western Carolina University, and Sweet Briar Museum at Sweet Briar College. Among the many other academic-based historical museums are Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, West Texas A&M University; Blue Ridge Institute and Museum, Ferrum College; Museum of the Big Bend, Sul Ross State University; and American West Heritage Center, Utah State University. Colleges and universities have many other types of history museums. Some are historic structures or honor an outstanding person, and sometimes both. Among the historic sites are the ca. 1813 Emily Dickinson Museum, The Home and The Evergreens, operated by Amherst College; 1822-26 Rotunda designed by Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia; 1844 Rowan Oak, Home of William Faulkner, University of Mississippi; Sam Houston Memorial Museum on the mid-1800s homestead of the Texas pioneer leader, Sam Houston State University; 1867-68 Lee Chapel and Museum honoring General

Robert E. Lee, Washington and Lee University; 1889 Jane Addams Hull-House Museum on the University of Illinois at Chicago campus; and Sam Rayburn Library and Museum, the home and library of the longest serving speaker of the U.S. Senate, part of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. Academic museums created to honor the lives and contributions of outstanding figures include the Stephen Foster Memorial Museum, featuring the life and works of the noted composer, University of Pittsburgh; Cyrus M. McCormick Memorial Museum, located at the 1830s farm of the inventor of the first successful mechanical reaper that revolutionized grain harvesting, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; George C. Marshall Museum, devoted to the World War II general for whom the Marshall Plan was named, Virginia Military Institute; and Winston Churchill Museum, celebrating the contributions of the British prime minister, at Westminster College, where he gave his famous “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946. Colleges and universities also have sports museums that honor individuals, teams, and their achievements. They include such places as the Paul W. Bryant Museum, featuring the long-time coach and football history at University of Alabama; 1985; Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center, celebrating the career of the New York Yankees catcher and baseball, Montclair State University, 1998; Jack Nicklaus Museum, devoted to the life and career of one of the greatest golfers, Ohio State University, 2002; and Eddie G. Robinson Museum, honoring the legendary football coach, Grambling State University, 2010. Other institutions—including Pennsylvania State University, University of Arizona, University of Connecticut, and U.S. Air Force Academy—opened new museums on their sports history and achievements in 2002-03. Historic campus structures also are preserved as history museums because of their age, content, or role in history. Among such sites are the 1839 Old Governor’s Mansion at Georgia College and State University; 1842-44 Old Capitol Museum, University of Iowa; 1905-08 Glensheen Historic Estate, University of Minnesota Duluth; and 1926 Meadow Brook Hall, a 110-room, 88,000-square-foot mansion, Oakland University. The University of Southern Indiana is the co-operator with the state of Historic New Harmony, a collection of 1814-27 historic structures at the site of two early utopian experiments; Bethany College in West Virginia has a “Historic Bethany” tour programs of early structures; Louisiana State University’s Rural Life Museum and Windrush Gardens features pre-industrial buildings and 25 acres of semiformal gardens; and several universities have extensive museum collections of largely pioneer buildings—National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University and Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village at Baylor University. Some universities, such as Johns Hopkins University and Clemson University, have historic properties offices to manage their multiple historic houses and related structures.

A number of historic sites have been re-created by institutions as living history museums, including an 1801-50 pioneer village at Daniel Boone Home and Boonesfield Village by Lindenwood University; 1823 Conner Prairie Interactive Historical Park, Earlham College; and early oil towns of Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown at Lamar University and East Texas Oil Museum at Kilgore College. Academic libraries also have become the site of history and other types of museums and galleries, usually because of their special collections, archives, and/or availability of space or desire to be of greater service. Among the varied historically oriented library museums are the Armstrong Browning Library, housing the largest collection of material related to the life and poetry of Robert Browning, at Baylor University; The Citadel Archives and Museum with collections and exhibits pertaining to the history of the college and the military; Northwest History Museum and Archives at Northwest Missouri State University; and History of Medicine Collections, Duke University. Many libraries contain art galleries, including the Harvey S. Firestone Library at Princeton University, which has four galleries. Among the other library art galleries are the University Gallery at Clarion University of Pennsylvania; Ronald Gallery, Earlham College; Mudd Gallery, Lawrence University; and Coe College Art Galleries. Some libraries are the home of art museums, such as the Oglethorpe University Art Museum, Georgetown University Art Collection, and American Museum of Asmat Art at the University of St. Thomas. Two multifaceted Washington libraries also exhibit works from their art collections—the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collections, operated by Harvard University, and Folger Shakespeare Library, governed by Amherst College. An increasing number of historical presidential libraries and museums are being located at universities. They now include the Gerald E. Ford Library at the University of Michigan, Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum at the University of Texas at Austin, George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University, and the George W. Bush Presidential Library being built at Southern Methodist University. A number of museum/libraries at the homes of former presidents also are operated by colleges and universities, including the James Madison Museum and Memorial Library by the University of Mary Washington; Ash Lawn-Highland, the 1799 home and plantation of Madison, College of William and Mary; and President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library, Tesculum College. Many of the general, agricultural, ethnic, and religious museums also are historically oriented. They most often trace the histories of colleges, universities, and ethnic and religious groups and include historical objects, artworks, and sometimes agricultural or scientific artifacts. Among the early general museums were the John E. Conner Museum at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, 1925; Yager Museum of Art and Culture, Hartwick College, 1929; and Arkansas State University Museum, 1933. They were followed by such

museums as the Reuel B. Pritchett Museum at Bridgewater College, 1954; Frank H. McClung Museum, University of Tennessee at Knoxville, 1963; McKissick Museum, University of South Carolina, 1976; and McPherson Museum, McPherson College, 1984. Early agricultural museums with collections of historical equipment and other farming artifacts included the Jensen Historic Farm at American West Heritage Center, Utah State University, 1917; State Agricultural Heritage Museum, South Dakota State University, 1967; and Pasto Agricultural Museum, Pennsylvania State University, 1978. Many ethnic museums are devoted to the history and/or art of African Americans, such as the Hampton University Museum, the first African American museum founded in 1868, and historically oriented museums like the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University, 1966; National Afro-America Museum and Cultural Center, Wilberforce University, 1972; and Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, College of Charleston, 1985. Among the university and college museums honoring African American figures are George Washington Carver Museum and the historic home of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee University, Mary McLeod Bethune Home at Bethune-Cookman College, and Rosa Parks Library and Museum at Troy State University. The numerous art galleries and museums include the Howard University Gallery of Art, Fisk University Galleries, Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, and James E. Lewis Museum of Art at Morgan State University. Native American history and/or art can be seen at such places as the Haskell Indian Nations University Cultural Center and Museum, Museum of the Native American Resource Center at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and the Schingoethe Center for Native American Cultures at Aurora University. Among the other ethnic facilities are the St. Andrews Scottish Heritage Center at St. Andrews Presbyterian College, NorwegianAmerican Historical Association Archives at St. Olaf College, and Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center at Manor Junior College. Most campus religious museums are located at church-operated universities and colleges and are largely historical in nature. Some are early Spanish missions like the 1769 Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala at the University of San Diego and the 1777 Mission Santa Clara de Asis at Santa Clara University. Others are devoted to the history and nature of specific religious, such as The Jewish Museum operated by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and the three museums that are part of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York City, Cincinnati, and Los Angeles. Others are more specialized, focusing on such areas as Biblical archaeology (Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology at the Pacific School of Religion); the Bible (Dunham Bible Museum at Houston Baptist University); church archives (Missouri United Methodist Archives at Central Methodist University); religious art (Museum of Contem-

porary Religious Art at St. Louis University); and institutional history and leaders (The Billy Graham Center Museum at Wheaton College and Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery). In some instances, the collections and museums located on academic campuses are independent of the colleges and universities. The Virginia Baptist Historical Society Archives housed at the University of Richmond, for example, actually is a society operation. Among the other unaffiliated facilities are the New Jersey Museum of Agriculture, operated by the state at Rutgers University; Norwegian-American Historical Association Archives at St. Olaf College; Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona; and NASA’s Mars Space Flight Facility and Space Photography Laboratory at Arizona State University. CONTINUED SCIENCE GROWTH The number of science museums continued to climb in the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of twenty-first century. This was especially true in such long-established fields as natural and cultural history, archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, geology, astronomy, and the botanical and medical sciences, as well as in such relatively new fields as planetariums and science and technology centers. Collections also are greatly expanded in such research-based fields as entomology, paleontology, and zoology. Natural and cultural history museums—which encompass many of the other sciences—were among the earliest university and college collections and exhibits in the 1800s. The number of museums and the size and scope of collections continued rapid expansion into the 1900s and early 2000s. Natural and cultural museums now have some of the largest collections of specimens and other objects in such fields as anthropology, archaeology, biology, botany, entomology, ethnology, geology, mineralogy, paleontology, and zoology. Among those with extensive collections are the Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, more than 30 million; Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, over 20 million; University of Nebraska State Museum, 15 million; Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington, more than 12 million; University of Kansas Natural History Museum, 8 million; and Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma, over 7 million. Among the new natural and cultural museums since the mid-nineteenth century were the Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University, 1956; Richard H. Schmidt Museum of Natural History, Emporia State University, 1959; Bowers Science Museum, State University of New York at Cortland, 1964; Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University, 1978; Connecticut State Museum of Natural History,

AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
University of Connecticut, 1982; Natural History Museum and Planetarium, Georgia College and State University, 2004; and Museum of Biodiversity, University of Notre Dame, 2006. In 1994, the Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State University resulted from the merging of two existing natural history museums—the Sternberg Memorial Museum and the Museum of the High Plains. At Louisiana State University, 16 natural history collections were united to form the Louisiana Museum of Natural History in 1998. The Harvard Museum of Natural History was created in 1995 as the public face of three research museums—Museum of Comparative Zoology, Minerological Museum, and Harvard University Herbaria—in a natural history complex with a single admission. At the University of Michigan, five museums in the natural history field—anthropology, paleontology, zoology, herbarium, and natural and cultural history—are housed in the same building, but operate separately. The University of California at Berkeley has six science museums and eight field stations that work together through the Berkeley Natural History Museums, an administrative consortium that provides purchasing, financial, human resource, and programming services. The research-oriented museums in entomology, paleontology, and zoology also have experienced increases in numbers. Among the new museums since mid-1900s in entomology—dealing with insects and related arthropods—are the Frost Entomological Museum, Pennsylvania State University, 1969; Louisiana State Arthropod Museum, Louisiana State University, 1971; Mississippi Entomological Museum, Mississippi State University, 1979; and two publicly oriented exhibit facilities—University of Wyoming Insect Museum, 1994, and Kansas State University Insect Zoo, 1999. The Essig Museum of Entomology at the University of California, Berkeley, founded in 1939, has a collection of 4.5 million specimens, but is closed to the public. Several paleontology museums, devoted to the study of dinosaur and other fossils of the distant past, also have been established in the second half of the twentieth century. The College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum opened in 1961 and Brigham Young University of Paleontology in 1976. The University of Nebraska State Museum conducts research and displays fossils at two active excavations—Ashfall Fossil Beds State Park and nearby Fort Robinson State Park, which contains the Trailside Museum of Natural History. The University of California Museum of Paleontology, founded in 1921, has the largest paleontology collection of any university in the world, and the Museum of Paleontology at the University of Michigan contains over 2.2 million specimens. Zoology museums, which conduct research on amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles, range from the historic Museum of Comparative Zoology, founded in 1859 at Harvard University, to the Hefner Zoology Museum at Miami University in Ohio, which opened in 1951. Among the other early research museums are the University of Michigan

Museum of Zoology, University of Wisconsin Zoology Museum, and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley (normally open only to research scientists), which also were established in the 1800s. This category also has a public zoo—the Santa Fe Community College Teaching Zoo, initiated in 1971 as part of the college’s training program for animal professionals. In addition, zoological research and exhibits can be found at many natural history museums. Among the archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums established during this period were the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology at Brown University in 1956; Museum and Laboratories of Ethnic Arts and Technology (later renamed the Fowler Museum at UCLA), University of California, Los Angeles, 1963; Indiana University Museum (which became the Mathers Museum of World Cultures), 1963; Lois Dowdle Cobb Museum of Archaeology, Mississippi State University, 1971; and DePauw University Anthropology Museum, 1984. A number of academic museums also were opened at such archaeological sites as the Chucalissa Mounds (C. H. Nash Museum), University of Memphis, 1956; Blackwater Draw (Blackwater Draw Museum), Eastern New Mexico University, 1969; and Moundville Archaeological Park & Jones Archaeological Museum, University of Alabama. In the geology and mineralogy fields, the Miles Mineral Museum opened at Eastern New Mexico University in 1969; Fiedler Memorial Museum, Texas Lutheran University, 1973; R. S. Dietz Museum of Geology, Arizona State University, 1977; Weiss Earth Science Museum, University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, 2002; and Oscar E. Monnig Meteorite Gallery, Texas Christian University, 2003. Botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and museums were among the earliest academic collections and related facilities at American colleges and universities. Among the early academic botanical facilities were the Pavilion Gardens at the University of Virginia, 1824; Haverford College Arboretum, 1834; University of Wisconsin-Madison Herbarium, 1849; Museum of Vegetable Products (now Botanical Museum of Harvard University), 1858; W. J. Beal Botanical Garden, Michigan State University, 1873; a Cornell University arboretum that later included gardens and became the Cornell Plantations, 1875; an Ohio State University arboretum (now Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens), 1888; and University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley, 1890. The first half of the twentieth century resulted in such botanical facilities as the arboretum and botanical gardens that became the Nichols Arboretum and Matthaei Botanical Gardens, University of Michigan, 1907; Intermountain Herbarium (now with over 251,000 specimens), Utah State University, 1921; Red Butte Garden and Arboretum University of Utah, 1930; and the 1880s private Morris Arboretum that became a public facility, University of Pennsylvania, 1933.
20
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Many more new botanical facilities have been established since the mid-1900s. They include such diverse sites as the Glen Helen Nature Preserve, Antioch College, 1951; University of Alabama Arboretum, 1958; Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation (now part of Carnegie Mellon University), 1961; Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University, 1962; University of California Irvine Arboretum, 1965; State Botanical Garden of Georgia, University of Georgia, 1968; Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, Pennsylvania State University, 1976; Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, University of Texas at Austin, 1982; Arboretum at Arizona State University, 1990; and University of Washington Botanic Gardens (which united city and university gardens and programs along Lake Washington), 2005. Numerous new medical, dental, and health museums followed such early historically oriented museums as the Warren Anatomical Museum, Harvard University, 1847; Dittrick Museum of Medical History at Case Western Reserve University, 1926; History of Medicine Collections, Duke University, 1930; and Clendening History of Medicine Library and Museum, University of Kansas Medical Center, 1945. The new medical museums—most of which place more emphasis on health science education—include the Mobile Medical Museum, University of South Alabama, 1962; Waring Historical Library, Medical University of South Carolina, 1966; Pearson Museum, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, 1974; Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1975; University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Medical Museum, 1982; Kleist Health Education Center, Florida Gulf Coast University, 1994; and Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum, Baylor University, College of Medicine, 2010. In the dentistry field, the 1938 Historical Dental Museum was replaced by The Edwin and Trudy Weaver Historical Dental Museum in 2003. Other new dental museums were the Macaulay Museum of Dental History, Medical University of South Carolina, 1975; Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry, University of Michigan, 1992; and Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry, University of Maryland at Baltimore, 2003. Among the related medical museums were the History of Pharmacy Museum at the University of Arizona in 1966 and University of Maryland School of Nursing Museum in 1999. Two major expansions took place in the astronomical field—observatories for cosmos research that generally are open for public stargazing, and planetariums, theater-style facilities that project educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky. Among the new observatories were the Sommers-Bausch Observatory, University of Colorado, 1953; Dyer Observatory, Vanderbilt University, 1953; Bassett Planetarium at Amherst College, 1960; University of Maryland Observatory, 1963; Governor Aker Observatory, Eastern Arizona College, 1995; H. S. Mendenhall Observatory, Oklahoma

State University, 2002; and Hempshire College Observatory, 2004. It also was in 1960-63 that Cornell University’s Arecibo Observatory, the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, was built in Puerto Rico. Astronomy consortiums, such as the Associated Universities, Inc. and Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, were founded to design, build, and/or operate observatories at such sites as Kitt Peak in Arizona and Mauna Lea in Hawaii with National Science Foundation funding. Colleges and universities also formed other consortiums to conduct atmospheric research (through the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research) and to share the cost of building and operating facilities such as the WIYN, MDM, and W. M. Keck observatories. Even the historic Harvard Observatory joined with the Smithsonian Institution in 1973 to form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, headquartered in Cambridge, which combined their resources and research facilities. Planetariums with sky shows—and later often with laser light shows—began appearing with increasing frequency at colleges and universities from the mid-twentieth century into the early twenty-first century. Among the new facilities were UCLA Planetarium, University of California, Los Angeles, 1957; Peterson Planetarium, Emporia State University, 1959; Abrams Planetarium, Michigan State University, 1963; Hardin Planetarium, Western Kentucky University, 1967; Rollins Planetarium, Young Harris College, 1979; Berea College Weatherford Planetarium, 1985; University of Washington Planetarium, 1994; and Royden G. Derrick Planetarium, Brigham Young University, 2005. Some are used only for astronomy classes and school groups, but most also are open to the public. A large number of astronomical facilities are combined planetariums and observatories, often with stargazing taking place after planetarium sky shows. They include the William M. Observatory and Planetarium, Otterbein University, 1955; Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory, Brevard Community College, 1976; Bowling Green State University Planetarium and Observatory, 1984; and Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium, Yale University, 2005. Planetariums also are part of science and technology centers and natural history museums, such as the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley; UA Science: Flandrau, University of Arizona; Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University; and University of Nebraska State Museum. Some planetariums also have astronomical and space exhibits and have added “science center” to their names, such as the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Fiske Planetarium and Science Center at University of Colorado, and Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center at University of Nevada, Reno. A planetarium actually is named the Coca-Cola Space Science Center at Columbus State University.
22
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
A number of colleges and universities also have astronomical museums, observatory visitor centers, or exhibit programs, such as the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii on the Hilo campus of the University of Hawaii; Mount Lemmon SkyCenter, a mountaintop public astronomical program operated by the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory; and UW Space Place, a shopping center astronomical and science exhibit center established by the Department of Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Science and technology museums and centers basically take two forms—museums of historical scientific and technical instruments and equipment and more contemporary science and technology centers—usually featuring hands-on exhibits and activities. The largest and most historic collection is the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments at Harvard University, founded in 1949 and containing over 20,000 objects dating back as far as 1450. Other historic science collections include the Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum at Transylvania University and the Oesper Museum of Chemical Apparatus at the University of Cincinnati. Among the interactive science and technology centers are Cranbrook Institute of Science at the Cranbrook Educational Community, 1930; Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, 1968; Science Discovery Center at Oneonta, State University of New York at Oneonta, 1987; Idea Place, Louisiana Tech University, 1994; East Kentucky Science Center, Big Sandy Community and Technical College, 1994; Da Vinci Science Center, Cedar Crest College, 2003; and University of Arkansas Discovery Zone, 2009. Some science centers include other fields, such as the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, which is a museum of science, technology, and history at Kalamazoo Valley Community College; and MIT Museum, a museum of science, technology, and other areas of scholarship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another technology museum, the Jean Jennings Bartik Computing Museums at Northwest Missouri State University, is devoted to computer history. CHANGING CAMPUS CONDITIONS At the turn of the twenty-first century, academic museums of all types underwent widespread changes—many caused by economic conditions. Many local, state, and federal governments began reducing their support for higher education and raising private contributions became more difficult as costs increased. As a result, the budgets of many museums and related facilities were cut or not increased, forcing cutbacks or closures in many instances. The limited budgets often brought about reduced staffs, exhibitions, programs, renovations, and improvements. The need for funds also resulted in some cases of public hours being cut back and admission fees being imposed or increased. Nearly 50 collegiate museums and related facilities were closed in the 1990s and 2000s—almost always for financial reasons. They included such varied places as the Museum of Natural History; Princeton University; University of Arkansas Museum;

Horner Museum, Oregon State University; Museum of Political Life, University of Hartford; Ryther Printing Museum, University of Kansas; Villanova Planetarium, Villanova University; Fellow-Reeve Museum of History, Friends University; Drexel University Museum; and School of Dental Medicine Museum, University of Connecticut. Some museums were closed for other reasons. The Johnson Gallery at Phillips University and Teikyo Westmar Art Gallery at Teikyo Westmar University closed because the universities folded. The University of Iowa Museum of Art is closed because a 2008 flood severely damaged its building and it is occupying temporary facilities while a new building is being developed. Some are closed indefinitely while new funds or direction are being sought, including the Nicole and Eisenberg Archaeological Collection at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, E. M. Violette Museum at Truman State University, and The Pensacola State College Planetarium and Space Theatre at Pensacola Junior College. Others, like Bowers Science Museum at the State University of New York at Cortland and the A. D. Buck Museum of History and Natural Sciences at Northern Oklahoma College, are closed temporarily for renovation. Among the curtailments were the William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology, which closed its gallery, University of Kentucky; Lentz Center for Asian Culture at University of Nebraska-Lincoln changed from scheduled hours to visits only by appointment; Ohio State University Planetarium discontinued its public shows; Smith College Museum of Art started charging admission; and University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology terminated 18 research specialists. and closed its Museum Applied Science Center. A few closed museums, such as the University of Wyoming Geological Museum and Humboldt State University Natural History Museum, reopened after protests and new funding. Other museums, including the Appalachian Cultural Museum at Appalachian State University, continue to offer educational programming after closing. The collections and exhibits of some museums have been incorporated into other campus museums, such as the University of Kansas’s Snow Entomology Museum and Museum of Invertebrate Paleontology, now part of the KU Natural History Museum, and the Jonson Gallery, which formerly was located in a separate building and now is a gallery inside the University of New Mexico Art Museum. A number of academic museums also no longer are part of colleges and universities because they was transferred to other organizations, such as the University of Michigan’s Henry Ford Estate, Gannon College’s Watson-Curtze Museum, and Tulane University’s 1831 Hermann-Grima House and 1857 Gallier House. Fortunately, approximately the same number of new museums and related facilities have been established during the same period. Among the art museums were the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, University of
24
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Minnesota Twin Cities, and Brigham Young University Museum of Art, 1993; Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum, California State University, San Bernardino, 1996; St. Louis University Museum of Art, 2002; Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts, Auburn University, 2003; Paul E. Jones Collection of African American Art, University of Delaware, 2004; Loyola University Museum of Art and American University Museum, 2005; Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas Christian University, 2008; CU Art Museum, University of Colorado, 2010; and Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, 2012. Among the new sculpture gardens were the St. Louis University’s Henry Lay Sculpture Garden in 1996 and the Elizabeth and Bryon Anderson Sculpture Garden at Iowa State University in 2007. Art galleries have experienced the greatest increase in the last two decades. Some of the larger institutions have added galleries, such as the J. Wayne Stark Center Galleries at Texas A&M University and Bryan and Nakamoto galleries at Bowling Green State University in 1992; Circle Gallery at the University of Georgia, 1993; and UB Art Gallery at Buffalo State College, 1994. Most of the new galleries were established at smaller institutions, many of which do not have art museums. Others were part of new campus art centers. Among the new galleries are the Guilford College Art Gallery, 1990; Center for Visual Art, Metropolitan State College of Denver, 1991; Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery, Lebanon Valley College, 1994; Mandeville Gallery, Union College, 1995; Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College, 1999; Richard F. Peeler Art Center Galleries, DePauw University, 2002; George Segal Gallery, Montclair State University, 2006; and Richmond Center for the Visual Arts Galleries, Western Michigan University, 2007. An increasing number of new museums and related facilities in other fields also are being founded at the turn of the twenty-first century. They include such diverse facilities as the Arboretum at Arizona State University, 1990; Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, St. Louis University, and Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, University of Kansas, 1993; Idea Place, Louisiana Tech University, and Deer Valley Rock Art Center, Arizona State University, 1994; Bob Campbell Geology Museum, Clemson University, 1998; Kansas State University Insect Zoo, 1999; Penn State All-Sports Museum, 2002; Oscar E. Monnig Meteorite Gallery, Texas Christian University, 2003; Natural History Museum and Planetarium, Georgia College and State University, 2004; Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium, Yale University, and University of Washington Botanic Gardens, 2005; Museum of Biodiversity, University of Notre Dame, 2006; Kemp Mineral Resources Museum, Lake Superior State University, 2007; and Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum, Baylor University, 2010.
A Challenging Future
25
A CHALLENGING FUTURE Academic museums and related facilities have come a long way since the 1700s and 1800s. They began as teaching and/or research collections, and many still have such emphasis. A few research-oriented museums are even closed to visitors. But most now also attempt to serve the campus and the general public—and sometimes are judged more by the quality of their exhibits and the size of attendances rather than the quality and size of their collections and their role in teaching and research. The early academic museums were basically displays of collections with relatively little interpretation or elaborate exhibitry; frequently housed in storage or working quarters in academic departments; and open to visitors at limited times and without charge. As they evolved and became more publicly oriented, campus museums frequently grew into larger facilities with expanded staffs and spaces, more elaborate exhibits, additional programming, and higher costs. These factors resulted in bigger budgets, greater emphasis on finding donors, and relying more on earned income such as admissions, store sales, and other sources. Another result was an increase in museum closings and curtailments as universities and colleges experienced financial shortfalls during difficult economic times. Despite financial problems, academic museums have become a more important part of the museum world. In addition to increasing in number, they have some of the largest and best collections, exhibits, and educational programs—and continue to increase their services in teaching, research, and furthering public understanding and appreciation of art, science, and other fields. They have some of the most extensive and valuable collections of artworks, scientific specimens, and historical and other objects; conduct leading research in artistic, scientific, and other disciplines; and present invaluable permanent exhibits and changing exhibitions in a wide assortment of subjects for the academic and public communities. Some of the largest concentrations of museums and related facilities can be found at colleges and universities. Arizona State University has 39 museum and exhibit sites; Harvard University, 22; Pennsylvania State University and University of Michigan, 17; and University of Arizona, 16. Among the Arizona State’s many facilities are art, anthropology, geology, living sciences, and nursing museums; art, design, photography, space, physics, meteorite, and library galleries; and such other facilities as an arboretum, planetarium, and rock art center. Harvard operates an anatomical, archaeology/ethnology, botanical, natural history, mineralogy, Semitic, scientific instruments, zoology, and three art museums, and a herbarium and two art galleries on campus, and an arboretum, forestry museum, observatory, and research library/collection off campus. Penn State has agriculture, anthropology, architecture, art, mineral, entomology, environmental, library, materials, sports, and other museums and galleries, while Michigan has museums of anthropology, archaeology, art, dentistry, musical instruments, natural history, paleontology, sports, and zoology, as well as art and design galleries,

AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
botanical gardens, herbarium, planetarium, observatories, and the Gerald R. Ford Library. At the University of Arizona, the museums and related facilities are in such fields as art, astronomy, botanical sciences, mineralogy, photography, pharmacy, and the physical sciences. Most large universities have multiple museums and related facilities including such institutions as Louisiana State University and University of California, Berkeley, 12; Michigan State University and University of Texas at Austin, 11; Clemson University, Northwest Missouri State University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 10; University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Wisconsin-Madison, 9; Ohio State University and Yale University, 8; and Brigham Young University, Indiana University, University of Alabama, and University of Washington, 7. Smaller universities and colleges tend to have far fewer museum and other sites, and many have only a single art gallery for temporary exhibitions of works by students, faculty, and professional artists. Academic museums and related facilities vary greatly in size. Harvard Art Museums occupies over 200,000 square feet. Among the other large facilities are the Institute of Texan Cultures, University of Texas at San Antonio, 182,000 square feet; Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin, 155,000 square feet; and Mayborn Museum Complex, Baylor University, 143,000 square feet. The Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design has five buildings and the University of Minnesota’s Minnesota Landscape Arboretum covers 1,137 acres. Most academic museums and related facilities are much smaller, including some that are under 1,000 square feet. The size of academic museum collections varies greatly. Some art galleries do not have collections, while others have some artworks or make use of a university or college’s permanent collection. Among the large art museum collections are at the Harvard Art Museums, with 250,000 objects; Yale University Art Gallery, 185,000; and Princeton University Art Museum, 72,000. Natural history museums have some of the largest collections, including the Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, more than 30 million specimens and other items; Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, over 20 million; and University of Nebraska State Museum, 15 million. One of the largest and most diverse collections is at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, which contains over 36 million literary manuscripts, 5 million photographs, 1 million rare books, 100,000 works of art, and other culturally important documents and artifacts. Over 75 academic museums and related facilities have annual attendances of over 100,000. Among the most popular are University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, 650,000; George Washington Carver Museum, Tuskegee University, over 490,000; Michigan State University Museum, 410,000; and Birch Aquarium at Scripps, University

27
of California at San Diego and University of Washington Botanic Gardens, 400,000. However, at least 25 have attendances of less than 1,000 annually. Despite some difficulties, academic museums, galleries, and related facilities have made tremendous progress over the years. They have greatly increased in number and quality, and have become more than teaching and research aids. They have developed into an important part of the nation’s educational and cultural resources—on and off the campus. Like many other museums and nonprofits, they face financial obstacles and occasional critics. But they provide an invaluable service on the campus and in society in general. They have weathered recent financial and growth problems—and should continue to expand and be of even greater service in the years ahead.
Chapter 2
Types of Institutions University and college museums, galleries, and related facilities take many different forms-varying in subject matter, mission, organization, name, and many other ways. This chapter looks at campus museums and their counterparts from the standpoint of their primary fields of emphasis and how they normally are categorized. This study includes 1,739 institutions at 825 universities, colleges, and related organizations. Museums and similar facilities at universities and colleges can be grouped in at least 24 categories, with some falling into several classifications. Approximately half of the institutions are in the art field, with art galleries accounting for 38 percent and art museums and sculpture gardens nearly 14 percent. Among the other types that are well represented are planetariums and observatories, nearly 9 percent; historical museums, houses, and sites and botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and nature centers, each over 6 percent; natural history museums and archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums, each around 4 percent. The seven museums and gallery types represent more than 81 percent of the total. Ten of the other 17 categories are historically oriented museums. They cover such fields as agriculture; costumes, textiles, and fashions; ethnicity; libraries and archives; music; photography; religion; sports; general; and other fields. The remaining seven types of
30
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
museums are in science— entomology; geology and mineralogy; marine sciences; medicine, dentistry, and health; paleontology; science and technology; and zoology. Academic museums were among the first museums, galleries, and related fields in the United States. Their collections and exhibits began in the 1700s and early 1800s, and now represent almost 10 percent of the museums and similar facilities in the nation. The various types are described in this chapter. MUSEUMS OF ART AND SCULPTURE Art Museums
University and college art museums basically are institutions that collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret permanent collections of art. The artworks most often consist of paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture, but also frequently include decorative arts, photographs, ceramics, furniture, costumes, textiles, design, silver, glass, jade, metalwork, engravings, jewelry, antiquities, and/or other works. Art museums—which number 242 in this study—also usually present temporary exhibitions and public programs and often are used for teaching and research. Art museums are among the oldest, largest, and best known, attended, and supported campus museum? Many have extensive collections and exhibits, beautiful sculpture gardens or courts, and/or new buildings underwritten by private individuals, while others are relatively small, are more narrowly focused, and/or occupy some of the most historic buildings at colleges and universities. Not all have “museum” in their names; some are called galleries, collections, art centers, or other names. Art collections and museums were among the first cultural collections and facilities at American universities and colleges. The first academic collection began in 1732 at the College of William and Mary when the third Earl of Burlington gave the college a portrait of physicist Robert Boyle. It was followed in 1772 by gifts of artworks to Dartmouth College. Many began as institutional, teaching, or research collections that later evolved into museums-frequently many years after the collections began. At Dartmouth College, for example, it was not until 1974 that several collections were consolidated to form a museum that became the Hood Museum of Art in 1985. The first collections of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art originated in 1811. However, the museum was not formalized until 1894. The nation’s first art school and art museum were founded in 1805 in Philadelphia. The Museum of American Art is still at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, but its name now is the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum. Among the other early efforts were the Trumbull Gallery (which later developed into the Yale University Art Gallery), established in 1832 at Yale University; a collection of engravings used to illustrate classical antiquity lectures in 1855 that eventually led to the establishment of the
Museums of Art and Sculpture
31
University of Michigan Museum of Art in 1946; and the inclusion of an art museum (now known as the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center) for display of a teaching collection as part of the founding of Vassar College in 1861. The largest university art museum complex today is the Harvard Art Museums, which includes the Fogg Art Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum. The three facilities occupy more than 200,000 square feet and have over 250,000 objects in their collections and an annual attendance of 108,000. Among the other large art museum facilities are the Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin, 155,000 square feet; Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, 112,720 square feet; Brigham Young University of Art, 102,000 square feet; Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, five buildings; and John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Florida State University, a multi-building complex. Art museums with some of the highest attendance include the John and Mable Ringling Museum, Florida State University, 360,00; Brigham Young University Museum of Art, 327,000; Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts, Stanford University, 250,000; Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester, 245,000; and University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 200,000. Among the other leading art museums are the Yale University Art Gallery and Yale Center for British Art, Princeton University Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, Indiana University Art Museum, Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester, Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington, Herbert F. Johnnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, and Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame. Some highly regarded art museums that have moved into new facilities in the 1990s include the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities; Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; and Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley University. Another major development was the movement of the Wight Art Gallery and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts into the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center (now the Hammer Museum), which turned over its management to the University of California, Los Angeles. A number of important art museums have their dual functions reflected in their names, such as the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California, Berkeley. Others without “art” in their names frequently have collections that span several disciplines, such as the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University, which features art and archaeological antiquities.
32
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Specialty art museums and galleries generally are included in other categories because of their emphasis on a particular aspect of the art field. They most often are in the fields of costume, textiles, and fashion; photography; and sculpture. Other art facilities with small or no collections or permanent exhibits generally are considered art galleries, rather than museums. Many museums in other fields also have art collections and exhibitions, such as historical, ethnic, religious, cultural, and general museums. Many museums in other fields often also have art collections and exhibitions. This generally occurs among museums of archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology; general museums; historical museums, houses, and sites; and religious museums. Sculpture Gardens
Works of sculpture can be found inside and outside museums. Outdoor sculpture gardens on university and college campuses usually feature large works of contemporary sculpture, while sculpture collections inside museums generally consist of small to medium works ranging from ancient times to the present. Most sculpture gardens are part of art museums, although a few are operated by art galleries or independently. Sculpture collections also can be part of other types of museums. Among the varied indoor sculpture collections at art and other museums are works ranging from Romanesque stone pieces to twentieth-century sculpture at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University; Assyrian, South Asian, and Italian sculpture at the Williams College Museum of Art; medieval to modern sculpture at the Robert Hull Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont; 275 pieces of Romanesque and Gothic sculpture at the Duke’s Nasher Museum of Art; twentieth-century works at the Indiana University Art Museum; Egyptian pre-dynastic to Roman wood and stone sculpture at the Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia; 300 American sculptures at the Museum of American Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; sculpture of Ivan Meštrovicc at the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame; and early Modernist, African, and other sculptures at the Yale University Art Gallery. Among the art museums that have exterior sculpture exhibits are the Sheldon Museum of Art and Sculpture Garden, which features over 30 monumental sculptures at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts, with an exterior Rodin Sculpture Garden and internal sculpture displays, Stanford University; University of Wyoming Art Museum, which has a 20,000-square-foot outdoor sculpture terrace; and Lehigh University Art Galleries/Museum, which has 13 outdoor sculptures near six gallery sites on three campuses. Many art museums also manage campus-wide sculpture collections. The Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University oversees one of the largest outdoor sculpture displays, which consist of over 70 works. Ursinus College has 40 contemporary sculptures on the campus that are the responsibility of the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art, and
Museums of Art and Sculpture
33
the University Art Museum at California State University, Long Beach, has 22 sculptures around the campus. At the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum administers a “Public Art on Campus” program that includes outdoor sculpture and indoor artworks at over three dozen campus sites. Among the other universities and colleges with large numbers of outdoor campus sculptures are Hofstra University, 75; California State University, Fullerton, 32; William Paterson University of New Jersey, 21; Western Washington University, over 20; and Montclair State University, 20 (some are managed by art galleries). Some arboretums contain sculptures on their grounds, including the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania and the Vanderbilt University Arboretum. A few colleges and universities have independently administered outdoor sculpture displays. One of the first outdoor sculpture courts was the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, founded in 1900 by New York University to honor significant individuals who have contributed to the American experience. The Hall of Fame, which now contains busts of 97 of the 102 persons honored, has become part of the Bronx Community College of the City University of New York. One university has a sculpture museum and at least four others have self-contained outdoor sculpture gardens. The Marshall M; Fredericks Sculpture Museum at Saginaw Valley State University features more than 1,000 works relating to the career of sculptor Fredericks. The sculpture parks include the Frederick D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, with over 70 figural and abstract works on 5 acres at the University of California, Los Angeles; Elizabeth and Byron Anderson Sculpture Garden, Iowa State University; Henry Lay Sculpture Garden, St. Louis University; and Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park, Governors State University. Art Galleries
One out of three museums and galleries at American universities and colleges is an art gallery. The number of campus art galleries now exceeds 668, and the total keeps growing. Many of the largest institutions have more than one gallery. They are found most commonly at universities and colleges that do not have art museums, although they sometimes function as a showcase for a university’s or museum’s extensive collection. Art galleries differ from art museums in that they usually do not have a permanent art collection (although some do, they are generally limited). They normally also are smaller in terms of space, staff, and budget; feature changing exhibitions, frequently of contemporary art; rely heavily on outside sources for the content of exhibitions; and rarely engage in research. Many are part of art departments and schedule faculty and student shows as extensions of academic programs. Some art museums began as art galleries or collections of art used in instructional programs, including the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University;
34
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities; Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami; and Frances Lehhman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College. A number of art museums still use “gallery” in their names, such as the Grey Art Gallery at New York University; Yale University Art Gallery; Tufts University Art Gallery; Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington; Schumacher Gallery, Capital University, and Trout Gallery, Dickinson College. So do museum-like galleries like the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University; Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College; and UB Anderson Gallery, Buffalo State College. A few art museums use both gallery and museum in their names, such as Blaffer Gallery: The Art Museum of the University of Houston and Lehigh University Art Galleries/Museum. One of the earliest galleries opened in 1871 at what later became the San Francisco Art Institute. It evolved into the present-day Walter and McBean Galleries. It was not until the 1920s and 1930s, however, that many of today’s collegiate galleries began to appear with increasing frequency. They included the Wisconsin Union Art Galleries, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1928; Doris Ulmann Galleries, Berea College, 1935; and Armstrong Gallery (now Luce Gallery), Cornell College, 1937. But the surge in the number of galleries did not come until the 1960s through the 1980s. Art galleries now are the fastest-growing segment of the campus museum/gallery movement. Among the many new galleries opened in the 1990s were the Center for Visual Art at Metropolitan State College of Denver, Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University, Blum Art Gallery at the College of the Atlantic, and Ashby-Hodge Gallery of American Art at Central Methodist College. Others moved into new facilities, including the Harder Center Gallery at Presbyterian College, Tufts University Art Gallery, and Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College. Among the many new galleries in the 2000s were Bryant Arts Center Gallery, Denison University; St. Joseph College Art Gallery; Islander Art Gallery, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi; Schnormeier Gallery, Mount Vernon Nazarene University; Richard F. Peeler Art Center Galleries, DePauw University; George Segal Gallery, Montclair State University; and Richmond Center for the Visual Arts Galleries, Western Michigan University. Most campus art galleries have 2,000 or less square feet, and seldom exceed 10,000 square feet. Among those with larger spaces are the Lehman College Art Gallery and J. Wayne Stark University Center Galleries at Texas A&M University-College Station, 20,000 square feet; Visual Art Center, North Carolina State University, 18,000; and Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries, Old Dominion University, 15,000. Some galleries have collections and/or manage university or college collections. The SU Art Galleries at Syracuse University has the largest collection by far—45,000 fine art and ethnographic objects (formerly known as the Syracuse University Art Collection). Among
Science Museums and Related Facilities
35
the other galleries with collections are Brown University’s David Winton Bell Gallery, with more than 4,000 works, and the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, approximately 3,000 objects. Galleries such as the Hearst Art Gallery at St. Mary’s College of California and Luther W. Brady Art Gallery at George Washington University display artworks from the college or university permanent collection. Many art galleries have several or more exhibit galleries and numerous exhibitions. Moore College of Art and Design has 15 galleries and display spaces, while the Ringling College of Art and Design contains 12 galleries and exhibition halls. Western Kentucky University, which has a two-story University Gallery and two Corridor Galleries, presents from 16 to 22 exhibitions a year, while the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at the University of Alabama offers eight to 10 shows each year. Although art galleries generally have lower attendance than art museums, some have sizeable numbers. They include the Wexner Center for the Arts Galleries, Ohio State University, 190,000; School of the Art Institute of Chicago Sullivan Galleries, 118,400; Western Gallery, Western Washington University, 55,000; J. Wayne Stark University Center Galleries, Texas A&M University-College Station, 51,000; and Hite Art Institute Galleries, University of Louisville, 48,000. A few museums in other fields also have gallery spaces to display artworks relating to their fields. They include the Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum and Gallery at Pennsylvania State University, which has a gallery for paintings, drawings, and sculptures relating to the mineral industries, and the Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University, with a gallery for displaying western and Native American art. SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND RELATED FACILITIES Natural History Museums
Natural history museums are concerned with the natural sciences and with objects such as animals, birds, fish, rocks, minerals, fossils, insects, plants, planets, humans, and other aspects of systematic and evolutionary biology. Most university and college museums of natural history are collection, teaching, and research oriented, while nature and environmental centers are more limited in scope and more interpretive in purpose. Over 70 universities and colleges have natural history museums or centers, and more than 60 other institutions have museums in other categories with substantial collections of natural history objects. The latter include archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums; entomology museums; geology, mineralogy, and paleontology museums; marine science museums and aquariums; and zoology museums, as well as some general museums, historical museums, planetariums and observatories, and science and technology museums and centers.
36
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Many of the early natural history museums grew out of cabinets of curiosities or natural history collected by faculty members and academic departments for teaching and research. Among the first campus natural history collections were the geological and mineral collections started in 1784 at Harvard University, a teaching collection begun in 1805 at Princeton University, a natural history collection developed by the president of Amherst College in 1835, and scientific collections created with the founding of the University of Michigan in 1837. The first facilities with natural history collections and exhibits on campuses were far less extensive than today’ s museums. They included a cabinet of natural history at the University of Michigan in 1837 (which became the Museum of Zoology and then part of the University of Michigan Museums Natural History) and a museum-like facility at Amherst College in 1838 (which evolved into the present-day Pratt Museum of Natural History). It was not until 1859 that the first major natural history museum was founded by Professor Louis Agassiz at Harvard University. It was devoted to showing how animals evolved and lived and their similarities and differences. The museum—which became known as the Agassiz Museum—is now the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Another important early museum was the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, established in 1866 at Yale University. Three universities now have major systems of natural history museums. They include the Harvard University Museum of Natural History, comprised of three museums (Botanical Museum, Mineralogical Museum and Museum of Comparative Zoology); University of Michigan Museums of Natural History, five units (Exhibit Museum, Museum of Anthropology, Museum of Paleontology, Museum of Zoology, and University of Michigan Herbarium); —a fifth (Museum of Anthropology) recently became administratively independent; Berkeley Natural History Museums at the University of California, Berkeley, a consortium of six museums in the fields of anthropology, entomology, paleontology, vertebrate zoology, botanical gardens, and two herbariums (with over 12 million specimens in their collections). Most of these facilities are described in their specialized sections. Among the other leading university and college museums of natural history are those at Yale, Princeton, Louisiana State, and Montana State universities and the universities of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. The Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History have the largest collections. The three museums that comprise the Harvard museum contain over 26 million herbarium, zoological, and mineral specimens and objects, while the Peabody museum has a collection of more than 20 million. Other natural history museums with large collections include the University of Nebraska State Museum, 15 million; Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, University of Washington,
Science Museums and Related Facilities
37
over 12 million; Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma, more than 7 million; and Texas Natural Science Center/Texas Memorial Museum, University of Texas at Austin, 5.7 million. In addition to their comprehensive collections and extensive research activities, natural history museums are known for their spectacular dinosaur and other fossil displays and lifelike dioramas. The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale has one of the nation’s largest collections and exhibits of dinosaurs. Among the other museums with extensive dinosaur fossil holdings are the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma; University of Nebraska State Museum; Exhibit Natural History Museum, University of Michigan; Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University; Utah Museum of Natural History, University of Utah; Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum, Brigham Young University. At the University of Minnesota, the Bell Museum of Natural History has over 100 dioramas and habitat groups featuring the flora and fauna of Minnesota. Walk-through diorama-like displays are featured at the Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida. Other museums making effective use of dioramas include the Michigan State University Museum; Museum of Natural History, University of Iowa; and Texas Natural Science Center/Texas Memorial Museum, University of Texas at Austin. Archaeology, Anthropology, and Ethnology Museums
Archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology are among the fields frequently covered—at least partially—by natural history museums. More often they are the focus of separate museums specializing in social history and material culture, with the latter refining to artifacts made by human beings through a combination of raw material and technology. Universities and colleges have nearly 70 museums that deal primarily with archaeology, anthropology, and/or ethnology. Nearly 90 museums in other fields, such as natural history, religion, history, and ethnicity, also have such artifacts as part of their collections and exhibitions. One of the first museums in the field was the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, founded at Harvard University in l866 with a George Peabody trust fund grant and opened in 1877. The museum, which houses treasures of prehistoric and historic cultures from throughout the world, now is one of four museums that comprise the Harvard University Museum of Natural History. Other early collections and museums include the Johns Hopkins University Archaeological Collection, 1884; University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 1887; Semitic Museum, Harvard University, 18S9; Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College, 1894; and Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago, 1896.

Most of the museums in the field—including the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology-are broad based. Others tend to specialize, such as the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago, which features the art and archaeology of the ancient Near East; Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan, with classical antiquities as the core of its collections; Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, which emphasizes its California archaeological and ethnographic materials; Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, a major resource of Southwest archaeological and ethnological materials; and Semitic Museum at Harvard University, dedicated to Semitic languages and history. Among the other archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums with unusual specialties are the Eastern New Mexico University’s Blackwater Draw Museum, located at the nation’s first multicultural paleo-Indian archaeological site; Deer Valley Rock Art Center, a 47-acre petroglyph site with over 1,500 carvings or inscriptions, Arizona State University; Peary-Macmillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College, with collections relating to the exploration, archaeology, anthropology, and ecology of the Arctic region; and C. H. Nash Museum-Chucalissa, which is an archaeological park, museum, and partially reconstructed fifteenth-century Native American village, operated by the University of Memphis. Some museums have extensive ethnographic collections resulting from the consolidation of artifacts from various academic departments, as occurred in the founding of the World Heritage Museum (now Spurlock Museum) at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign and the Fowler Museum of Cultural History (now Fowler Museum at UCLA) at the University of California, Los Angeles. Museums of archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology often have large collections. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has a collection of more than 6 million objects. Other extensive collections include Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, 3.8 million; University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology, more than 3 million; and University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, nearly 1 million. Two of the largest annual attendance in the field are at the Peabody Museum at Harvard University (150,000) and the University of Pennsylvania museum (145,000). Entomology Museums
Entomology is a branch of zoology that deals with insects. Such collections usually are found in natural history or zoology museums, but there are at least 11 museums that specialize in insects and are called entomology museums.
40
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Three campuses of the University of California have museums of entomology—Berkeley, Davis, and Riverside. The Bohart Museum of Entomology at Davis has a collection of more than 7 million arthropod specimens, the Essig Museum of Entomology at Berkeley has more than 4.5 million specimens, and the UCR Entomological Research Museum at Riverside has a collection of approximately 3 million both insects and related non-insectan arthropods on display. Other museums with large collections include the Frost Entomological Museum, Pennsylvania State University, more than 2 million; M. T. James Museum, Washington State University, 1.28 million; Mississippi Entomological Museum, Mississippi State University, over 1 million; and Louisiana State Arthropod Museum, Louisiana State University, nearly 1 million. Other entomological museums are located at Clemson University, University of Wyoming, and Kansas State University, which has both a Museum of Entomological and Prairie Arthropod Research and an “Insect Zoo” that gives visitors an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of creepy crawlers. Many natural history museums have entomological collections. The Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida has the largest collections of butterflies and moths in the Western Hemisphere. Among the others with extensive insect collections are the University of Georgia Museum of Natural History, University of Nebraska State Museum, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at the University of Oklahoma, Utah Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah and University of Kansas Natural History Museum. Entomology also is one of the subjects covered at most zoology museums, including the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology and the University of North Dakota Zoology Museum. Zoology Museums
Museums of zoology—a science that deals with animals—were among the first of the specialized natural history museums on university campuses. They began to appear in the mid-nineteenth century and now number at least eight. They are relatively small in number because most zoological collections now are part of more comprehensive museums of natural history. The first American university zoology museum was the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. It was founded in 1859 by Swiss zoologist Louis Agassiz. Its collections and exhibits range from the earliest fossil invertebrates and reptiles to present-day fish and reptiles. Among its outstanding specimens are whale skeletons, the Harvard mastodon, the largest turtle shell ever found, a lobe-finned coelacanth, a giant sea serpent, and extinct birds such as the great auk and the passenger pigeon. The museum now is one of three that comprise the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

A zoological collection began at the University of Michigan even earlier (with the founding of the university in 1837), but did not result in a formal Museum of Zoology until 1913. In the intervening years, zoological specimens merely were exhibited. The Museum of Zoology was the first of the five natural history-oriented museums that became part of the University of Michigan Museums of Natural History complex. The Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University has approximately 21 million extant and fossil invertebrates and vertebrate specimens in its collection—one of the richest and most varied resources for studying the diversity of life. Other museums with large collections are the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley; University of Michigan Museum of Zoology; and University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum. In Florida, the Santa Fe Community College Teaching Zoo has live animals at a 10-acre outdoor zoo used to train zoo professionals. Among the other early zoological collections that evolved into museums are the Museum of Zoology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, 1863; University of North Dakota Zoology Museum, 1883; University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum, 1887; Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, 1908; and University of Montana Zoological Museum and Herbarium, 1909. Nearly all natural history have some zoological specimens, and a considerable number have extensive collections. The Natural History Collections at the University of Massachusetts Amherst formerly was known as the Museum of Zoology, and the Charles R. Conner Museum at Washington State was nearly a zoological museum at one stage of its development. The University of California, Davis, has a natural history museum known as the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology, and some among the other museums with considerable zoological specimens are University of Nebraska State Museum; Michigan State University Museum; and Bell Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Paleontology Museums
Fossils are the focal point of paleontology-oriented museums. There are relatively few paleontology museums, but many natural history, geology, and other museums that have fossil collections and exhibits. They tend to be research oriented and normally closed to the public. The University of California Museum of Paleontology in Berkeley has the largest paleontological collection of any university in the world. It was founded in 1921, but is collection began in 1874 after the Geological Survey of California deposited its collection of fossils and other materials with the university. Another large fossil museum is the Museum of Paleontology the University of Michigan, which has a collection of over 2.2 million and a museum in the Ruthvens Museum Building, where four other natural history-oriented museums are housed.
42
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Two paleontology museums in Utah feature fossils of ancient animals found in the region. The Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology features fossils from the Jurassic Period, as well as dinosaurs and other vertebrates from other geologic periods. The College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, located in the midst of some of the richest archaeological finds, has collections and exhibits of dinosaur and other fossils. The University of Nebraska State Museum, a natural history museum with fossil collections and exhibits in Lincoln, conducts research and operates museum-like exhibits at two still-active excavation sites at the Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park and Fort Robinson State Park, where the visiting public can see fossils of ancient animals where they were found and museum paleontologists at work. Geology and Mineralogy Museums
Museums of geology, mineralogy, and paleontology either specialize in one of the disciplines or are a combination of two or all three fields. More than 45 museums contain collections and exhibits of rocks, minerals, ores, gems, meteorites, and/or fossils, and some even have historic mining equipment. Nearly the same number of natural history museums have one or more collections of such specimens as part of their offerings. The Mineralogical Museum at Harvard University grew out of an academic department’s teaching and research collections that began in 1784. Its internationally recognized systemic collection now contains over 50,000 minerals, ores, rocks, meteorites, and gems, including many rare species. The museum is one of three museums that comprise the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Among the other early collections resulting in geological museums are the Colorado School of Mines Geological Museum, 1874; South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Museum of Geology, 1885; University of Wyoming Geological Museum, 1887; Orton Geological Museum, Ohio State University, 1893; University of Cincinnati Geology Museum, 1907; and W.M. Keck Museum, University of Nevada, Reno, 1908. The Colorado School of Mines museum includes mining equipment and artifacts among its collections and exhibits; Badlands fossils and Black Hills minerals are featured at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology; the University of Wyoming Geological Museum evolved from a small natural history museum that was part of the university’s first building; Ohio State University’s museum began with a gift of 10,000 specimens from the university’s first president, who also was a professor of geology; the University of Cincinnati Geology Museum (now Durrell Museum) now has around 800,000 catalogued fossils; and the Keck Museum contains rocks, minerals, ores, fossils, and mining artifacts, mostly from Nevada. Some museums in the field emphasize minerals. They include the-A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum at Michigan Technological University, which features crystals and lapidary

works from 1886 to the present; Miles Mineral Museum at Eastern New Mexico University, containing calcite, gypsum, and other collections; Mineral Museum at the Montana Tech of the University of Montana, with a mineral collection that began in 1901; and University of Arizona Mineral Museum, which started in 1891 as an original part of the land grant university and now is located in the UA Science: Flandrau building. Among the other specialized museums are the Meteorite Museum at the University of New Mexico, containing one of the largest collections of meteorites in the nation; Comer Museum at West Virginia University, with coal, oil, and natural gas collections and exhibits; and Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum and Gallery at Pennsylvania State University, which has paintings, drawings, and sculptures relating to the mineral industries as well as over 20,000 mineral, gem, and fossil specimens. Among the natural history museums with important geology, mineralogy, and/or paleontology collections are the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, possessing one of the largest dinosaur fossil collections and exhibits; Texas Natural Science Center/Texas Memorial Museum at the University of Texas at Austin, containing over 50,000 rocks, minerals, gems, meteorites, and textiles; Utah Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah, with extensive holdings in geology, rocks, minerals, gems, and fossils; Museum of Natural Science at Louisiana State University, which has a large geoscience collection; Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University, with a geological collection and fossilized remains of dinosaurs and Ice Age mammoths; McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina, having over 100,000 research and exhibit specimens in geology and paleontology, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at the University of Oklahoma, containing invertebrate and vertebrate fossils, paleobotanical materials, and minerals; and University of Nebraska State Museum, featuring several hundred Cenozoic mammal fossils, a large vertebrate paleontology collection, and extensive geology and meteorite specimens. The closed Princeton University Museum of Natural History also had extensive collections. Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, Herbariums, and Nature Centers
Although not called “museums,” botanical gardens, arboretums, and herbariums and nature centers are museum-like in their collections and operations and normally are included as part of the museum field. A botanical garden is a garden-often with one or more greenhouses-for the culture, study, and exhibition of special plants; an arboretum is a place where trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants are cultivated primarily for scientific and educational purposes; and a herbarium is a collection of dried plant specimens, usually mounted systematically arranged for reference purposes; and a nature center is a park-like setting with botanical facilities. These botanical facilities normally are separate, with botanical gardens and arboretums usually being located outdoors and herbariums indoors. In most instances, a university or
44
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
college has only one of the collections, although a few institutions have two or all three. When not independently administered, botanical gardens and arboretums usually are operated by the academic departments of biology, botany, forestry, or horticulture or by the physical plant department of the university or college. Herbariums generally are in the biological sciences department or natural history museum. Universities and colleges have more than 100 botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and nature centers and nearly 25 others are part of museums or other facilities. The collections range from a few hundred specimens to over 5 million (at the Harvard University Herbaria). The first campus botanical gardens were established during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The nation’s oldest continuously operating botanical garden is the W.J. Beal Botanical Garden at Michigan State University, founded in 1873. Other early gardens include the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley, 1890, and the Botanic Garden of Smith College, 1895. The first public arboretum in the United States was the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, founded in 1872. However, as early as 1834, an English gardener was hired by Haverford College to convert farmland into an attractive campus-which led to the establishment of the Haverford College Arboretum. Among the other early arboreta were the Vanderbilt University Arboretum, 1873, and the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, founded privately in 1887 and becoming part of the university in 1932. Herbariums are the most numerous of the museum-like facilities in the plant sciences. The Harvard University Herbaria began in 1864, followed by such facilities as the Kansas State University Herbarium, 1871; University Herbarium at the University of California, Berkeley, 1872; Greene-Nieuwland Herbarium at the University of Notre Dame, 1879; Arthur Herbarium at Purdue University, 1887; and Rocky Mountain Herbarium at the University of Wyoming, 1893. Two other types of botanical institutions—the Botanical Museum at Harvard University and the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation at Carnegie Melllon Universityusually are included in this category. The Botanical Museum, which started as the Museum of Vegetable Products in 1858, is commonly known as the Garden of Glass Flowers because of its 3,000 glass models of 800 plant species created by Leopold Blaschka and his son, Rudolph, between 1887 and 1936. The Hunt Institute, founded in 1961, is a botanical gallery/library/archives/bibliography, with more than 30,000 watercolors, drawings, and original prints; over 25,000 books; approximately 2,000 letters and 280 sets of botanists’ private papers; and several hundred thousand reference plant sciences books, periodicals, articles, and other publications. Harvard University has five museum-like facilities in the plant sciences, including some of the most prominent. They are the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University Herbaria,

Botanical Museum, Harvard Forest, and Fisher Museum of Forestry. Michigan State University also has five botanical facilities, while the University of Virginia has six garden and arboretum sites. Among the leading facilities in the field are Harvard’s 265-acre Arnold Arboretum, with over 7,000 varieties of ornamental trees and shrubs in Jamaica Plain Boston, Massachusetts (Harvard also has a 3,000-acre forest in Petersham); Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, which has more than 13,000 labeled temperate-zone trees and shrubs on 92 acres; Harold L. Lyon Arboretum of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with more than 5,000 tropical trees and other plants on 194 acres; Cornell Plantations of Cornell University, which has a 150-acre arboretum, 25-acre botanical garden, central campus gardens, and manages 40 natural areas with nearly 4,300 acres of diverse habitats; Boyce Thompson Arboretum of the University of Arizona, featuring approximately 12,000 plant specimens on 320 acres in Superior, about 100 miles north of the Tucson campus; Scott Arboretum, with over 4,000 kinds of plants on 300 acres at Swarthmore College; Minnesota Landscape Arboretum of the University of Minnesota, which has research and display gardens on 1,137 acres; University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, containing the world’s oldest and largest collection of restored biological communities on its 1,260 acres; University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley, consisting of over 13,000 accessions representing more than 300 plant families; and Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden at the University of California, Los Angeles, which has approximately 5,000 species in 225 families and an herbarium. Some arboretums include the entire campus. At Haverford College, over 1,500 campus trees are labeled, and self-guided specialty tours are featured. A two-mile walking tour that winds past 300 varieties of trees, plants, and shrubs over 300 rolling green areas is part of the Vanderbilt University Arboretum. The Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens at Ohio State University has about 1,000 trees representing 120 species that grow in Ohio, 17 gardens with over 2,000 different plants, a labyrinth, greenhouse, and artworks throughout the agricultural college campus. Among the nature centers are the Whitehouse Nature Center, a 135-acre site with an arboretum, herbarium, and interpretive center, Albion College; Lytle Ranch Preserve, containing 600 acres of geological formations and overlapping ecosystems, Brigham Young University; Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, which covers 7,000 acres and has a 72-acre lake, flower and herb gardens, raptor center, and hands-on discovery room, Pennsylvania State University; and Glen Helen Nature Preserve, a 1,000-acre center with woods, waterways, prairies, trails, and a natural history museum, Antioch College. Botanical facilities are among the most popular of the academic museum facilities. The University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum has the highest annual attendance with 650,000, followed by such places as the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, University of
46
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Minnesota, 271,000; Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and UC Davis Arboretum, University of California, Davis, 250,000; and Cornell Plantations, Cornell University, and State Botanic Garden of Georgia, University of Georgia, 200,000. Science and Technology Museums and Centers
Traditional science and technology museums are largely historical and collection based, while science and technology centers are primarily contemporary and rely heavily on participatory constructed exhibits instead of collections. Some institutions are a blend of the two approaches. Nine sites are primarily “hands-on” science centers; four science museums are collection oriented; and four museums have a combination of collections and interactive exhibits. The four more traditional science museums are the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments at Harvard University; Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum, Transylvania University; Oesper Museum of Chemical Apparatus, University of Cincinnati; and Jean Jennings Bartik Computing Museum, Northwest Missouri State University. The Harvard museum is one of the largest of its kind in the world, having a collection of over 20,000 objects dating from about 1400 to the present, while the Transylvania collection contains scientific instruments and equipment used in teaching science and medicine in the nineteenth century. The University of Cincinnati collection of chemical equipment is one of three parts of the Oesper Collections in the History of Chemistry at the university, and the Northwest Missouri computer museum features early computing equipment. The Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley, is the largest of the contemporary hands-on science centers on campuses. It features exhibits on lasers, astronomy, computers, the body, and other aspects of science and technology. It also has a planetarium, a computer laboratory, and an extensive program of science/math curriculum and teacher development. Among the other hands-on science centers are the Science Discovery Center of Oneonta, with about 80 exhibits that focus on basic elements of science, State University of New York at Oneonta; UA Science: Flandrau, a science center built around a planetarium, University of Arizona; MIT Museum, which has collections and interactive exhibits, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and two science centers at federal energy laboratories administered by universities—Bradbury Science Museum at Los Alamos National Laboratory (University of California, Berkeley) and Lederman Science Center, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (a consortium of universities). Some of the new science centers are the East Kentucky Science Center, Big Sandy Community and Technical College; Da Vinci Science Center, Cedar Crest College; Idea Place, Louisiana Tech University; and Discovery Zone, University of Arkansas.

Science centers combined with other fields include the Cranbrook Institute of Science (natural history), Cranbrook Educational Community; Kalamazoo Valley Museum (history), Kalamazoo Valley Community College; and North Museum of Natural History and Science Natural History, Franklin and Marshall College. A number of planetariums with exhibits also have added “science center” to their names (see Planetariums and Observatories section). Other types of museums sometimes have science and technology collections and exhibits as part of their offerings. They include the University of Mississippi Museum, a general museum with approximately 500 nineteenth-century scientific instruments; Museum of Southwestern Michigan College, a history museum with exhibits on scientific principles and technological applications; College of Southern Idaho’s Herrett Museum, an archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museum with hands-on science exhibits; and I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium at South Carolina State University, which is basically an art museum with planetarium shows and some science-oriented exhibits. Planetariums and Observatories
American universities and colleges have approximately 300 planetariums, where an optical device projects various celestial images and effects on a dome for the benefit of audiences. Most of the planetariums are used for instructional purposes and do not present public programs. More than 150, however, serve a dual purpose and sometimes have collections and exhibits. Planetariums also are part of natural history museums and science centers. Some of the planetariums also have observatories, used primarily by students, faculty members, and the public to view and/or study distant natural phenomena with telescopes. Larger and more powerful telescopes designed for research generally are part of astronomical observatories that stand alone and frequently are located on mountain tops many miles from campuses. Some of the latter are operated by consortiums of universities and colleges and on a contract basis for the federal government. Observatories came before planetariums. The first American university/college observatory was the Harvard College Observatory, founded in 1839. Its Great Reflector—a 15-inch telescope installed in 1847–was the nation’s largest telescope for 20 years. In 1973, the Harvard observatory joined with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, based in Cambridge with a joint faculty and facilities. The center now operates two major field stations—the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Massachusetts, and the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory near Amado, Arizona. Another large university observatory developed in the late nineteenth century was the University of California system’s Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton, near San Jose and Santa Cruz. A major astronomical research center since it opened in 1888, it has a
48
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
visitor center and a public gallery overlooking its largest telescope-the 120-inch Shane reflecting telescope. A smaller facility-the Leander J. McCormick Observatory, with a 26-inch refracting telescope-was established at the University of Virginia in 1885. Most of the leading astronomical research facilities (nearly all with visitor centers and/or viewing galleries) were established by universities and colleges in the twentieth century. They include the Palomar Observatory, opened on Palomar Mountain in 1948 by the California Institute of Technology (it features the 200-inch Hale telescope); University of Texas McDonald Observatory, founded in 1932 in the Davis Mountains near Fort Davis in Texas; Mauna Kea Observatories, an astronomical complex started in 1968 by the University of Hawaii near Hilo (and now the site of many other university and government observatories); W. M. Keck Observatory, a California Association for Research in Astronomy facility, that has the world’s largest and most powerful optical and infrared telescope at Mauna Kea; and WIYN Observatory, opened in 1994 on Kitt Peak near Tucson by a consortium of three universities (Indiana, Wisconsin, and Yale) and the National Optical Astronomy Observatories. The National Optical Astronomy Observatories are one’ of two major government operations—the other being the National Radio Astronomy Observatory—managed for the National Science Foundation on a contract basis by two associations of research universities. The optical observatories, consisting of three astronomical research centers (National Solar Observatory, Kitt Peak National Observatory, and Cerro Tololo InterAmerican Observatory) are operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. The radio astronomy observatory (located in Green Bank, West Virginia, with facilities at other locations) is administered by Associated Universities, Inc. Three of the earliest and best-known campus planetariums are the Morehead Planetarium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, opened in 1949; Fleischmann Planetarium, founded in 1963 at the University of Nevada at Reno; and Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, opened in 1964. The Morehead Planetarium has one of the largest star theaters (with 240 seats and a fulldome digital video projection system) and displays exhibits and artworks on astronomy and space; Fleischmann Planetarium offers sky shows, colorful 3-D images, exhibits, and observatory viewing; and Abrams Planetarium has a 50-foot titled dome, digital projector, 150 seats, telescopic observing, and exhibits on astronomy, meteorites, and space exploration. One of the newest planetarium/observatory facilities is the Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium, which opened in 2005 in the Farnham Memorial Gardens at Yale University. It contains a digital planetarium, exhibits about astronomy, and an observatory that is used primarily for undergraduate astronomy classes and research. Some planetariums are part of broader-based planetariums/space/science centers, such as the Flandrau Planeterium at the UA Science: Flandrau Science Center and Cernan Earth

and Space Center at Triton College. Planetariums also are found at other types of museums: natural history museums, including the Ruth and Vernon Taylor Planetarium at the Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University and the Ralph Teetor Planetarium at the Joseph Moore Museum of Natural History at Earlham College; hands-on science/technology centers, such as the William K. Holt Planetarium at the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley; and even what is primarily an art museum, the I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium at South Carolina State University. Laser light shows that choreograph laser images and special visual effects to music are presented by some planetariums, including the Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College and the Clever Planetarium and Earth Science Center at San Joaquin Delta College. One of the largest and most technologically advanced planetarium/observatory complexes was opened in 1994 at Brevard Community College in Florida. The Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory is a 51, 455-square-foot facility-a remodeled, expanded, and renamed 1976 planetarium-that contains a 70-foot-diameter planetarium with a Minolta Infinium projector, a 70mm IWerks theater, a 24-inch Cassegrain telescope, and exhibits devoted to American astronauts and the space program. Because of the addition of exhibits of astronomy and sometimes other sciences, some planetariums have added “Science Center” to their names, including the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Fiske Planetarium and Science Center, University of Colorado at Boulder; and Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center, University of Nevada, Reno. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Department of Astronomy, which operates the Washburn Observatory, has opened an astronomy/science center called “UW Space Place” in a shopping center. Marine Sciences Museums and Aquariums
Universities and colleges near oceans and other large bodies of water sometimes have marine sciences museums and/or aquariums that are used for instruction, research, and public education. These facilities now number six. A few natural history museums and science/technology museums and centers also have collections and exhibits of marine life. The first university marine museum-aquarium started in 1903 as the Marine Biological Association of San Diego at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which became part of the University of California, San Diego in 1912. The initial public display opened in 1905, followed by expanded offerings in 1915. The aquarium-museum moved into its own building in 1951 and then into a new structure in conjunction with the renaming of the facility as the Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum (now Birch Aquarium at Scripps) in 1992. The aquarium-museum interprets ocean sciences and the Scripps Institution’s research program. It has about 60 tanks and more than 5,000 animals representing 380
50
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
species from the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest to the tropical waters of Mexico and the Indo-Pacific. It is the nation’s most popular campus aquarium with 400,000 visitors annually. Another early facility was the Waikiki Aquarium, which began as a commercial attraction in 1904 and became part of the University of Hawaii in 1919. It now is a major center for marine education and research in Hawaiian and Pacific Ocean tropical fauna and flora. It was the first in the United States to display chambered nautiluses, cuttlefish, and black-tip reef sharks and has one of the world’s largest collections of corals from Hawaii. Other leading marine centers with aquariums include the Hatfield Marine Science Center of Oregon State University and the museum at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, a state facility administered by the University of Southern Mississippi. The Hatfield aquarium has approximately 20 exhibit tanks with about 1,300 specimens of 120 species of saltwater animals native to Oregon’s shores, bays, and ocean floor. The Gulf Coast Research Laboratory Museum has 71 tanks and 355,000 specimens of fish and over 1 million invertebrates. Among the other marine facilities are the College of William and Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science Fish Collection and the Marine Sciences Museum at the University of Puerto Rico. The Virginia collection contains approximately 128,000 specimens of fish in 247 families from the Chesapeake Bay and mid-Atlantic; deep-sea fish and sharks, and Appalachian freshwater fish. In Puerto Rico, the marine museum has collections of invertebrates, fish, shells, copepoda, and tropical algae. Natural history and zoological museums with marine collections include the Museum of Natural Science at Louisiana State University, Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, and University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum. Medical, Dental, and Health Museums
Medical, dental, and pharmaceutical museums typically are specialized museums with historical collections and displays of medical, dental, and/or pharmaceutical artifacts, while health museums tend to be hands-on health education centers. Most of the approximately 25 medical and other museums at universities and colleges combine science and history—and frequently are part of libraries at medical or dental centers. Collections and exhibits of old medical and dental instruments, equipment, and other artifacts also can be seen at some historical, general, and science museums. One of the first medical museums was the Dittrick Museum of Medical History, founded in 1926 by the Cleveland Medical Library Association and operated since 1967 through a partnership with Case Western Reserve University. It has more than 50,000 historical objects related to the practice of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing. Originally used only by the medical profession and historians, it was opened to the public in 1936.

Medical libraries also have museum-like collections at Yale University, University of Kansas, Medical University of South Carolina, Duke University, and other institutions. Founded in 1814, the Yale University School of Medicine Library became the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library after major contributions in 1941 and 1970. It has an internationally recognized historical library now has more than 411,000 volumes and over 2,600 medical journals and an adjoining History Library, which contains early medical volumes, graphics, paintings, and medical instruments and equipment. The first medical museum was the Warren Anatomical Museum, founded in 1847 at Harvard University, which has a collection of 15,000 objects in the history of medicine and health education. Approximately 25,000 books, 29,000 monographs, 1,800 bound serials, numerous manuscripts, are featured at the Clendening History of Medicine Library and Museum at the University of Kansas Medical Center, while the Waring Historical Library at the Medical University of South Carolina has over 12,000 books, journals, and manuscripts and 1,000 artifacts relating to the history of the health sciences. The Duke University Medical Center Library’s History of Medicine Collections contain medical instruments, artifacts, books, journals, manuscripts, prints, and photographs. The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Medical Museum started with a gift of old surgical instruments, but has since broadened to include exhibits on the progress of medicine and patient care. The Mobile Medical Museum (formerly the Eichold-Heustis Medical Museum) at the University of South Alabama has one of the largest collections of medical artifacts in the Southeast, and the Alabama Museum of the Health Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham contains a collection of health science equipment, instruments, specimens, books, and manuscripts. A collection of anatomical models and scientific equipment is at the Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum at Transylvania University, while the Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum at Baylor University College of Medicine in Houston honors the famous heart surgeon. Some medically oriented museums cover medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy. The Pearson Museum at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, for instance, has medical, dental, and pharmaceutical artifacts and exhibits pertaining to practices in the upper Mississippi River Basin in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the Florida Gulf Coast University, the Kleist Health Education Center offers health exhibits, multimedia presentations, and other programs to further health education. Among dental museums, the Dr. Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry at the University of Maryland at Baltimore is a continuation of the original Baltimore College of Dental Surgery Museum founded in 1840.

Historical museums and related facilities take many forms at universities and colleges. They include historical museums, historic houses and sites, living history farms, re-created communities, and specialized museums covering the history of universities and colleges and such diverse fields as geographic regions, agriculture, religious bodies, medicine, sports, and politics. More than 110 historical museums, houses, sites, and related facilities are located on campuses, and over 200 other facilities are at least partly historical in nature. The latter tend to be in general museums and those in such specialized fields as agriculture; costumes, textiles, and fashion; ethnicity; libraries and archives; photography; religion; sports; and other fields. Among the first campus historical museums were those at military academies, such as the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, 1845; West Point Museum, U.S. Military Academy, 1854; and VMI Museum, Virginia Military Institute, 1856. They trace the history of the services and of their institutions through military artifacts, artworks, and exhibits. Most historical museums and related facilities were not established until the last half of the twentieth century, but they frequently are dedicated to people, places, and events from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. One of the best known campus historic sites is The Rotunda at the University of Virginia, which was designed by Thomas Jefferson. Built in 1822-1826, it is the focal point of Jefferson’s “academical village,” which includes pavilions and formal gardens. Two historical facilities commemorate the life of James Monroe, the nation’s fifth president. His 1799 home, known as Ash Lawn-Highland, and the surrounding 535-acre
The Rotunda at the University of Virginia was an early historic site designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1822-26. It was designed as the architectural and academic heart of a community of scholars that Jefferson envisioned as an “academic village” that included pavilions, student rooms, and an expansive lawn. The Rotunda still contains the original oval rooms and hourglass shaped halls, cornices in four architectural orders, and the dome and library sites. It now is used for lectures, symposia, meetings, and dinners. Courtesy of University of Virginia Public Affairs and photographer Dan Addison.

operated by Utah State University; and Spurlock Museum, an ethnologically oriented museum of world history and culture, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Ethnic Museums and Galleries
Nearly 60 ethnic museums and galleries can be found on American university and college campuses. The largest number by far are African American museums with 36 sites, most of which are located at institutions that predominately serve Black students. Native American and Jewish museums have seven each, and the other facilities are related to French, Scottish, Norwegian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Arctic history and cultures. Most African American museums are historical and relate to the Black experience in the United States. But an increasing number of galleries feature artworks by African American and sometimes from Africa. The first African American museum in the nation was the Hampton University Museum, founded in 1868. It has a collections and exhibits of art and artifacts of African Americans, as well as African, Native American, Asian, and Pacific cultures. The National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center, established in 1972 at Wilberforce University, is devoted to African American history and culture from African origins to the present. The Amistad Research Center at Tulane University is the nation’s largest independent archive specializing in the history of African Americans and other ethnic groups. It has over 15 million documents and other materials that trace African American history and race relations. Among the African American history and research museums are the Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston; Southeastern Regional Black Archives Research Center and Museum, Florida A&M University; and Alabama State Black Archives Research Center and Museum, Alabama A&M University. Some museums honor outstanding African Americans for their achievements. At Tuskegee University, the George Washington Carver Museum at the Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site honors the agricultural scientist who developed crop-rotation methods and hundreds of products from peanuts and other crops, and educator Booker T. Washington at “The Oaks,” a historic house where the university’s founder lived. The Rosa Parks Library and Museum at Troy University is dedicated to the seamstress who launched the civil rights movement by refusing to give up her seat on a bus, and the Mary McLeod Bethane Home at Bethune-Cookman College is a memorial to the famous education and civil rights leader who established the college. African American art museums include such places as the James E. Lewis Museum of Art, founded in 1951 at Morgan State University; NCCU Art Museum, North Carolina Central University; Southern University Museum of Art; and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art Among the galleries with changing exhibitions are Howard University Gallery

Manor Junior College; National Polish American Sports Hall of Fame, St. Mary’s College; and Jensen Arctic Museum, Western Oregon University. Religious Museums and Galleries
Museums with a religious emphasis usually are part of seminaries, colleges, and universities operated by religious organizations, but such collections also can be found at art, history, and cultural museums at other institutions. Most religious museums and related facilities are historical and/or archaeological in nature and often are part of libraries and archives. In addition to the nearly 30 other religions-based museums, eight other museums have religious collections. Among the historically oriented religious museums are the Billy Graham Center Museum at Wheaton College in Illinois, featuring a visual history of the growth of evangelism in the United States; Center for Western Studies at Augustana College in South Dakota, which is a library, archives, and museum concerned primarily with the history and study of the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, and Plains Indians in the region; Missouri United Methodist Archives at Central Methodist University, containing materials related to the development of the Methodist Church in the state and area; Quayle Bible Collection at Baker University, consisting of more than 900 Bibles and other items; and two early Spanish missions in California—Mission Basilica de Alcala, a 1769 historic site affiliated with the University of San Diego, Mission Santa Clara de Asis, a 1770 mission on the campus of Santa Clara University.

AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Clara University, Georgetown University Collection, Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University, Indiana University Art Museum, and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Art Museum. Some religious museums are ethnically oriented. The Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion has museums at three Reform Judaism seminaries—a multi-site museum about Jewish history, culture, religion, and contemporary creativity in New York City; the Skirball Museum, with Jewish archaeological, ceremonial, and ritual objects, in Cincinnati; and Skirball Cultural Center Museum, which has a focus of Jewish cultural history, Biblical archaeology, and art, in Los Angeles. Three other Jewish campus museums with religious collections and exhibits are The Jewish Museum, which is part of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America; Spertus Museum, Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies; and Yeshiva University Museum. A number of religious museums and collections are located on campuses, but are not part of the universities and colleges. They include the Nebraska Conference United Methodist Historical Center at Nebraska Wesleyan University and the Virginia Baptist Historical Society Archives at the University of Richmond. Such facilities generally trace the history and preserve the records of a particular religious group. Agricultural Museums
Nearly all agricultural museums—which number 15—are historical museums, telling the story of life on the farm, ranch, or plantation in a particular area during a specific period. Most have collections of tools, implements, clothing, furniture, and other belongings. Some are outdoor museums that also have multiple historic and/or replicated structures and often costumed interpreters. Two agricultural museums are located on early farms. The Cyrus H. McCormick Memorial Museum, a Virginia Tech museum devoted to the inventor of the mechanical reaper in 1831, contains his manor house and seven other original buildings on a 632-acre farm. The Jensen Historic Farm, founded in 1917, now is one of four historic sections used by Utah State University’s American West Heritage Center to interpret the 1820-1920 period in the region. Three agricultural museums are living history museums with costumed interpreters reenacting farm practices of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They are the Living History Farm, which features an 1889 farmhouse, at the Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies; Blue Ridge Farm Museum, part of Ferrum College, which re-creates an 1800 Virginia-German farmstead in western Virginia; and Roth Living Farm Museum, operated by Delaware Valley College, which demonstrates early farming practices. The largest and most popular academic living history museum is the Earlham College’s Conner Prairie Interactive Historical Park, an 800-acre history museum that re-creates an 1836 rural settlement and has an annual attendance of over 315,000.

Some agricultural and historical museums contain collections of historic farm, ranch, and/or plantation buildings. They include such places as the Rural Life Museum and Windrush Galleries, with plantation buildings and artifacts from Louisiana’s pre-industrial period, Louisiana State University, and National Ranching Heritage Center, with 38 ranch structures from the late 1700s through the early 1900s, Texas Tech University. Iowa State University has the Farm House Museum, a three-story 1860-64 farmhouse that was the first building on the campus. The Pasto Agricultural Museum, which has over 850 antique implements and other historical materials in its collection at Pennsylvania State University, seeks to further greater understanding and appreciation of early agriculture and rural life in the state and region. Among the other agricultural museums are the State Agricultural Heritage Museum at South Dakota State University; New Jersey Museum of Agriculture, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Page Farm and Home Museum, University of Maine; and Northwest’s Agriculture Museum, Northwest Missouri State University. Michigan State University has the Kellogg Farm and Dairy, an experimental research site with educational programs and guided tours. Costume, Textile, and Fashion Museums
Twenty-one academic museums are devoted entirely to costumes, textiles, and/or fashion, while smaller collections of such materials can be found at a number of art, ethnographic, general, and other types of museums. The collections range from several thousand historic garments to nearly 200,000 historic and contemporary pieces. The Design Center at Philadelphia University (formerly the Paley Design Center at Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science) has the largest collection. It contains approximately 200,000 objects from nearly every country in the world. It began in 1978 in the 7,000-square-foot former home of Goldie Paley that is located on the campus. Another large collection is at the Museum of FIT at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The collection consists of more than 50,000 garments and accessories from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, over 30,000 textiles from the sixth century to today, and around 15,000 shoes, hats, bags, and other accessories. Among the other museums with extensive collections are the Goldstein Museum of Design, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, approximately 26,000; Historic Textile and Costume Collection, University of Rhode Island, almost 20,000; FIDM Museum and Galleries, Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum, 15,000; Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection, University of Wisconsin-Madison, about 13,000; Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising, Colorado State University, 12,000; and Historic Costume and Textiles Collection, Ohio State University, over 11,500.

It has 42 gowns worn by the wives of Texas governors, presidents of the Republic of Texas, and several of the nation’s presidents and a vice president. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has the Robert Hillestad Textile Gallery that emphasizes changing exhibitions rather than collections. Music Museums
Six universities have museums of musical instruments. They document and exhibit the history of music through historical instrumentation and/or display antique and modern musical instruments and related materials. In several instances, the restored instruments are played in public performances and demonstrations at the museum. The 20,000-square-foot National Music Museum (formerly the Shrine to Music Museum) at the University of South Dakota has one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of musical instruments. Its collection includes more than 15,000 musical instruments, as well as sheet music, recordings, tools, books, periodicals, photographs, and related musical memorabilia. The museum has nine galleries and a concert hall where instruments of various historical periods are played in performances. Founded in 1900, the Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments has grown to nearly 1,000 instruments, with particular strength in European music from 1550 to 1850. It has two permanent exhibits and presents changing exhibitions, concerts, and demonstrations of various instruments. The Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at the University of Michigan is a museum of antique and modern Western and non-Western musical instruments.

Templeton, Sr. Music Museum, Mississippi State University; and Center for American Music Museum, University of Pittsburgh. Photography Museums and Galleries
Nearly all campus museums have photographs in their collections, but the greatest concentration usually can be found in separate photography museums and galleries. Some art, archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums also have large photography collections. In such art and cultural museums, however, photographs are only part of much more extensive collections. Approximately 10 institutions have photography museums and galleries. One of the nation”s largest collections of documentary photographs—numbering nearly 2 million images—is located at the University of Louisville’s Photographic Archives in the Ekstrom Library. Many of the photographs show the faces, houses, streets, industry, and life of the Louisville area over the last century. Another large photography collection can be found at the UCR/California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside. It is one of the largest, most comprehensive, and most diverse photographic resources in the West, interpreting photography as technology, social history, and artistic endeavor. The collection includes cameras, viewing devices, glass plates, paper prints, publications, and other materials related to photography. Among the other university and’ college photography museums are the University of Kentucky Photographic Collections, with over 100,000 photographs and manuscripts documenting the history of photography; the 55,00-square–foot Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, with more than 80,000 photographs by over 2,200 photographers and a photographers’ archives, galleries, a library, and research facilities; Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College, featuring contemporary and historical photography collections and exhibits; and Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago, which focuses on contemporary American photography.

A number of collegiate art galleries specialize in exhibiting photographs. They include the Night Gallery at Arizona State University; Doris Ulmann Galleries at Berea College; and Baldwin Photographic Gallery at Middle Tennessee State University.
62
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Some museums in other fields have photography collections—many of which are specialized. One of the largest is the collection of over 500,000 images at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University. Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum also has a twentieth-century photography collection. The Yale Center for British Art contains more than 200,000 photographs of British art, while the Yale University Art Gallery has a large collection of contemporary photographs. Other photography specialties include a collection of nineteenth-century European photographs at the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame, Native American photographs at the Mathers Museum of World Cultures, and motion picture prints at the University Art Museum and Pacific Films Archive at the University of California, Berkeley. Among the other art museums with large photography collections are the University Art Museum at the University of New Mexico, Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington, and Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design. Sports Museums
An increasing number of sports museums are being developed on university and college campuses, celebrating the history and achievements of varsity athletic teams, coaches, and players. The usually are located at institutions that have extensive athletic programs and winning records. Eighteen such museums now are located near campus athletic facilities. The first major sports museum was the University of Tennessee Football Hall of Fame, which was established in 1970. It is located in the Neyland-Thomson Sports Center and contains exhibits about the history of Tennessee Volunteers football and those who excelled The Paul W. Bryant Museum at the University of Alabama and the University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame were founded in the 1980s. The Bryant Museum honors its long-time football coach and some 120 years of football at the university with exhibits of trophies, uniforms, memorabilia, photographs, and interactive video displays. The Iowa museum has 30,000 square feet with similar exhibits about the university’s sports history and honors its athletic teams, coaches, and players. Among the other sports museums are Penn State All-Sports Museum; Jim Click Hall of Champions, University of Arizona; Texas A&M Sports Museum; Margaret Dow Towsley Sports Museum, University of Michigan; University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame; Athletic Hall of Excellence, U.S. Air Force Academy; Jonathan B. Lovelace Museum and Hall of Honor, Auburn University; J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum, University of Connecticut; and Heritage Hall Exhibit Area, University of Southern California.

accomplishments of one of the nation’s greatest golfers, while the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center at Montclair State University honors the celebrated New York Yankees catcher. In 2010, the Eddie G. Robinson Museum opened at Grambling State University in recognition of his record-setting football coaching career. Two national sports halls of fame also are located on campuses—the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum at Oklahoma State University and the National Polish American Sports Hall of Fame at St. Mary’s College. General Museums
General museums are those institutions that cover a range of fields, rather than specializing in a single discipline or related combination of fields. They frequently have diversified art, history, science, and/or other collections and exhibits, although they may be stronger in one area than others. Among the nearly 20 museums that fall in this category are the McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina; Museum of Texas Tech University; Frank H. McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville; Yager Museum of Art and Culture, Hartwick College; John E. Conner Museum, Texas A&M University-Kingsville; University of Mississippi Museum; and at Southern Illinois University Museums at Carbondale and Edwardsville. The McKissick Museum has collections and exhibits in material culture, natural science, and decorative and fine arts that largely relate to the social, cultural, and scientific development of South Carolina and the Southeast. Although the museum did not open until 1976, its collections began in 1823 when the university purchased an extensive mineral and fossil collection. The Museum of Texas Tech University is a general museum concerned largely with regional history, culture, and natural history. The museum has 5 million objects in its collections, has a main building, planetarium, natural science laboratory, research center, gallery, sculpture garden, and other facilities. The adjacent National Ranching Heritage Center, which formerly was part of the museum, now is administered as a separate department. The Frank H. McClung Museum at the University of Tennessee is a 38,500-square-foot museum with a collection and exhibits on anthropology, archaeology, decorative arts, natural history, and local history. The Yager Museum of Art and Culture at Hartwick College has a collection of 17,000 objects and five galleries the contain exhibits in such fields as art, archaeology, ethnology, and history.

Logan College Museum; McPherson Museum, McPherson College; Crisp Museum, Southeast Missouri State University; J. Houston Gordon Museum, University of Tennessee at Martin; and Museum of History, Anthropology, and Art, University of Puerto Rico. Library and Archival Collections and Galleries
Nearly every university and college has a library and/or archive, but relatively few have such facilities with museum-like collections, galleries, or exhibits. In most cases, the libraries and archives display rare books, art, and/or artifacts from their collections. Other times they have galleries that show art or other materials from other sources. More than 30 institutions have museum-like library and/or archival collections and galleries, and over 50 others have museums and galleries with such facilities. Among the campus libraries that have regular exhibitions of selections from their collections are the Chapin Library of Rare Books at Williams College, which has a collection of more than 50,000 volumes of original books and manuscripts; Firestone Library Galleries at Princeton University, containing four galleries, lobby cases, and an online exhibit program with materials from the library’s rare books and special collections; focusing on prints, drawings, illustrated books, and other aspects of the arts of the book; History of Aviation Collection at the Eugene McDermott Library at the University of Texas at Dallas, a major aeronautical research library with over 2.5 million items in more than 200 collections; and American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, featuring exhibitions of western history and art. The Lilly Library at Indiana University mounts three to four major exhibitions and 15 to 20 minor shows each year in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Some library galleries present changing art exhibitions, including the Magale Library Gallery at Centenary College of Louisiana, Boston College Libraries, and Middleton and Hill Memorial Libraries at Louisiana State University. Libraries also house the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art and the American Museum of Asmat Art at the University of St. Thomas. Museums in other fields sometimes also are located in libraries, including the Orton Geological Museum at Ohio State University; Center for American Music Museum, University of Pittsburgh; Winston Churchill Museum, Westminster College; Tandy Archaeological Museum, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; and Valene L. Smith Museum of Anthropology, California State University, Chico. In addition to exhibits in the main
Historically-Oriented Museums and Galleries

Pattee and Patero libraries, Pennsylvania State University has exhibit areas in the specialized libraries of architecture and landscape architecture and the earth and mineral sciences. Medical libraries sometimes function like museums with collections and exhibitions. They include the Historical Library at the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at the Yale University School of Medicine, which has early medical volumes, graphics, paintings, and medical instruments and equipment; Clendening History of Medicine Library and Museum at the University of Kansas Medical Center, with exhibits of printed volumes, early medical instruments and equipment, and other artifacts; Waring Historical Library at the Medical University of South Carolina, a combination library and museum with largely rare books and historical objects; and Dittrick Museum of Medical History at Case Western Reserve University, which has historical objects related to the practice of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing. Some campus libraries are devoted to the works, lives, and/or times of individuals. For example, the Sam Rayburn Library and Museum at the University of Texas at Austin has collections and exhibits about the Texan who served as speaker of the United States House of Representatives longer than any other person. The Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University has the world’s largest collection of material relating to Robert Browning and his poetry, the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum at Lincoln Memorial University has one of the largest collections of Lincoln and Civil War materials. Most people do not know that two of the nation’s best-known libraries—the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection and the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.—are part of Harvard University and Amherst College, respectively. They were entrusted with the libraries’ oversight by their donors, who were alumni. Dumbarton Oaks, one of the world’s leading centers of Byzantine, pre-Columbian, and landscape architecture study, also is an architectural, botanical, and historical showcase, while the Folger Shakespeare Library is a historic book and manuscript library and museum that is a major resource on the Renaissance civilization of England and the European continent. Some academic libraries with archives also feature materials from their collections, as occurs at The Citadel Archives and Museum in the Daniel Library at The Citadel: The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina; Meyer Library Special Collections and Archives, Missouri State University; and Mississippi University for Women Archives and Museum. A number of libraries also house collections and archives from outside sources, such as the Southeastern Architectural Archive at Tulane University; Steamship Historical Society Collection, University of Baltimore; and Archives of the Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church, Lycoming College. The LaGuardia and Wagner Archives Museum at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia Community College of the City University of New
66
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
York has special exhibits on the social and historical aspects of twentieth-century New York City and the life and times of former mayors LaGuardia and Robert F. Wagner. A number of historical centers have a combination library, archive, and museum or exhibit area. They include the Center for Western Studies at Augustana College in South Dakota, which focuses on the history and study of the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, and Plains Indians, Center for Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College. Other Types of Museums
At least eight museums do not fit into standard categories of university and college museums. Most are unique or cover subjects that rarely are the subject of separate campus museums. The museums range from the Culinary Arts Museum at Johnson and Wales University to The Cable Center at the University of Denver. The Culinary Arts Museum has a collection of over 250,000 items, including more than 100,000 menus, 60,000 cookbooks, and other cookery-related materials. The Cable Television Center is devoted to the history and operation of cable television. The Robert C. Williams Paper Museum at Georgia Institute of technology is an international resource on the history of paper and paper technology. It has a collection of over 10,000 objects pertaining to the history of papermaking, including watermarks, papers, prints, manuscripts, books, photographs, and paper-making tools. Other museums include the Cullis and Gladys Wade Clock Museum, with over 400 clocks and watches dating back as early as 1700s, Mississippi State University; Mascaro-Steiniger Turfgrass Museum, featuring turf equipment, Pennsylvania State University; Warren Stucki Museum of Broadcasting, which traces the development of wired ad wireless communications, Northwest Missouri State University; Steamship Historical Society Collection, consisting of thousands of publications, photographs, models, and other materials about steamships, University of Baltimore; and Treasures of the Sea Exhibit, a long-term, museum-like display of gold, silver, vessels, and other cargo recovered from a Spanish galleon that sank in a 1622 hurricane off the coast of Florida, Delaware Technical and Community College.
Chapter 3
Governance, Organization, and Staffing Most museums, galleries, and related facilities at American universities and colleges have less independence and flexibility in their operations than do their nonacademic public and private counterparts. They are only a small part of a spectrum of concerns of their parent institutions and have restrictions on governance, organization, personnel, and many other aspects of their operations. Nearly all campus museums and similar facilities do not have a separate board of trustees or directors. Instead, they normally are responsible to a university or college governing board, with the director reporting to an academic department head, dean, provost, vice president, vice chancellor, president, or some other office. The organization and staffing usually are limited in size and scope because most facilities are closely tied to an academic department or other structure that frequently determines the mission and allocates the space, budget, and personnel. Museums, galleries, and related facilities also typically must rely upon other university/college offices to provide such services as utilities, security, marketing, fund raising, and maintenance-which can be an advantage or a drawback. There are exceptions, particularly among the larger museums and similar facilities, which often have more sizable staffs, collections, exhibits, programs, budgets, and attendance—and sometimes their own buildings, membership programs, fund-raising
68
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
activities, and other capabilities. But even in such cases, management and operations almost always are limited by institutional and/or departmental policies and practices. Another factor is the multifaceted role of many campus museums, galleries, and similar facilities. They nearly always have collections, exhibits, and facilities that are used for instruction and research, and many directors are in charge of museum studies programs. Some also have a broader mission in serving school groups and the general public. In general, university and college museums and other museum-like facilities are underfunded, understaffed, underutilized, and under appreciated. Despite these circumstances, university and college museums, galleries, and related facilities have continued to increase in number, have grown in the size and quality of their operations, and often have made important contributions to the advancement of their fields and institutions. At one time, it was unusual for a university or college to have more than one museum or similar facility. Today many institutions have a considerable number of museums and similar facilities, covering a wide range of fields. Among those with the greatest number of museums and museum-like facilities are Arizona State University, 39; Harvard University, 22; Pennsylvania State University and University of Michigan, 17; University of Arizona, 16; Louisiana State University and University of California, Berkeley, 12; and Michigan State University and University of Texas at Austin, 11. Single facilities are likely to be found largely at the smaller universities and colleges, and they are generally art galleries. Relatively little coordination of multiple museums, galleries, and related facilities appears to exist on most campuses. Even when a university or college has a coordinating system, it rarely covers all the museums and similar facilities. Harvard, for example, has two umbrella museum complexes—Harvard Art Museums, including three art museums, and Harvard Museum of Natural History, also consisting of three museums—which cover only about a fourth of the university’s museums, galleries, and related facilities. A few institutions have tried to have greater coordination by putting their two or three museums under a single director and giving the group an all-inclusive name, such as Hartwick College’s Museums at Hartwick and the University Museums of Iowa State University. Two institutions that are part of the Claremont Colleges—Pomona College and Scripps College—combined their art galleries as the Galleries of the Claremont Colleges in 1974, but then separated the galleries again in 1993. GOVERNANCE PATTERNS The governing body for virtually every campus museum, gallery, and related facility is the board of trustees or directors of the university or college. It is the board that approves the establishment of the facility and usually its director, general policies, and budget-all upon the recommendation of the institution’s president or other administrator. Because
Governance Patterns
69
museums and other such facilities at universities and colleges rarely are autonomous, they almost never have their own governing boards. Some governing structures are complex. At Harvard University, for example, the university has used two governing boards—the 7-member Corporation (consisting of the president and fellows) and the 30-member Board of Overseers. The Corporation has primary oversight responsibility for university operations and reviews and approves the Harvard University Art Museums’ mission statement, all professional appointments (administrative as well as curatorial), annual operating budgets, capital projects, fundraising campaigns, and other significant projects. The Board of Overseers appoints a Committee to Visit the Art Museums to conduct an annual review of the museum activities. The visiting committee is comprised of 30 outside experts in the field, who meet with museum staff, fine arts faculty, and students to address a variety of topics each year; review the financial condition; and submit a detailed report to the Board of Overseers, with copies to the president, the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and the director of the art museums. The visiting committee also is involved throughout the year when issues of special importance arise. In practice, the director has considerable autonomy over museum operations, and the governing boards are involved only in the highest-level decisions. In those few cases where a campus museum has a separate board, it usually involves special circumstances that differ from normal practices. At Earlham College, for instance, Conner Prairie, a living history museum located 70 miles from the campus, is a wholly owned subsidiary that operates with its own Board of Directors, president, and administrative staff. However, the museum president reports to the president of Earlham College and meets with the university’s Board of Trustees on major issues and expenditures. Other examples of separate boards can be found at The Jewish Museum, which operates under the auspices of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and has a board with total authority for policy, collections, programs, personnel, and budget; Danforth Museum of Art, a joint project of Framingham State College and the City of Framingham, Massachusetts, with a governing board consisting of representatives of the college and the community; and Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center (now Hammer Museum), managed by the University of California, Los Angeles, and housing its Wight Art Gallery and Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, where the university has three representatives on a nine-member board. At Emory University, the Michael C. Carlos Museum has a 40-member Board of Directors, which is responsible for nearly everything except the administrative budget, which is allocated by the university’s governing board. More often museum and gallery boards are supplemental and advisory in nature, assisting with fund-raising collections, programming, and/or other areas. For example, the University of Wyoming Art Museum has a 25-member National Advisory Board that
70
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
helped raise $20 million for a new building that houses the museum and the American Heritage Center. Among the other institutions with advisory boards or committees are the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, which has a Board of Overseers appointed by the university president to look after the museum’s operations; California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside, has a Chancellor’s Committee to serve as a national advisory and fund-raising group to promote the interests of the museum; Krannert Art Museum and Kinkead Pavilion at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign uses a National Advisory Board for advice on fund development, acquisitions, accessions, deaccessions, exhibitions, and special events; and Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art recently founded at Kansas State University is administered largely with the assistance of a Museum Advisory Board. Advisory boards, committees, and councils can be of great assistance and/or a problem, as Nancy R. Axelrod points out in her booklet on advisory bodies, Creating and Renewing Advisory Boards: Strategies for Success: A successful advisory group can do much to help an organization fulfill its mission. Advisory Board members have helped enormously in raising funds, addressing political problems, handling public relations, and reviewing programs. An unsuccessful advisory group, on the other hand, can be a costly drain on precious institutional resources, image, and good will.
A number of university and college museums and similar facilities have formed partnerships with city, county, or state governments that sometimes involve joint governing and/or reporting responsibilities, such as the Hilltop Garden and Nature Center, a cooperative project of Indiana University and the City of Bloomington; W.W. Gayle Planetarium, a facility of Troy State University and the City of Montgomery, Alabama; Washington Park Arboretum, a partnership of the University of Washington and the City of Seattle; Fullerton, Arboretum, operated under a joint-powers agreement between California State University, Fullerton, and the City of Fullerton; Scurry County Museum at Western Texas College, which receives city, county, and university support; Kalamazoo Valley Museum, which is part of the county’s Kalamazoo Valley Community College district; the official visual art collection of the State of Nebraska at the University of Nebraska-Kearney; State Botanical Garden of Georgia at the University of Georgia; and Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, the designated state natural history museum at the University of Oklahoma. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES The management structures and reporting systems of museums, galleries, and related facilities vary greatly. The author’s survey showed that approximately 30 percent of the directors reported to the heads of academic departments, while 22 percent were accountable to deans, 12 percent to vice presidents, 11 percent to provosts, 9 percent to presidents, 2 percent to vice chancellors, and 14 percent to others, such as the directors of

71
arts centers, libraries, student unions, and coordinating offices, as well as directly to university, college, and museum governing boards. A majority of museums and similar facilities operate as independent departments within the institutional framework. However, the patterns differ considerably with the type of facility-and frequently with the size of the university or college. More than half of the art galleries, for example, are part of art, art history, and fine arts departments and report to the chairperson. Art museums, on the other hand, nearly always function independently and report to the dean, provost, vice president, or president. Most specialized science-oriented museums and such related facilities as planetariums, observatories, botanical gardens, arboretums, and herbariums follow the departmental reporting approach, but natural history, archaeology, anthropology, and ethnology museums generally are divided, often reporting instead to deans, provosts, vice presidents, or their equivalents. Historical museums, houses, and sites are more likely to report to a vice president or the president. In smaller universities and colleges with fewer departments and administrative offices, it is not uncommon for museums to be responsible directly to the president’s office. Some universities and colleges with more than one museum, gallery, or related facility seek to coordinate the activities through an administrator, committee, council, grouping, or other formal or informal method. These mechanisms range from oversight of certain similar types of facilities to across-the-board coordination in the museum or arts field. Sometimes they are created by the president or some other administrative officer, while other times they are initiated by the. directors of the museums and related facilities for the exchange of information, cooperation, and joint action. A number of institutions designate a single administrative official to be responsible for all museum, cultural, or arts activities. At the University of Arizona, campus museum directors report to and meet regularly with the vice president for academic support and international programs. Virginia Military Institute has an executive director of museum programs, while Louisiana State University relies upon an executive director for its Museum Complex. Among the broader coordinating efforts are the use of an Office of the Arts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, arts coordinator at the University of Puget Sound, coordinator of collateral activities at Jacksonville University, and dean of cultural affairs at the University of Maine. At some universities and colleges, the director of galleries is charged with overseeing all the art installations on the campus, as occurs at Austin Peay State University, Baruch College of City University of New York, Dickinson College, and Lehigh University. In other instances, the committee approach is utilized in arts coordination-such as the
72
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
President’s Advisory Committee on Art Policy and the President’s Visual Arts Coordinating Committee at Texas A&M University and the Commission on the Arts at St. Anselm College. A few universities and colleges have oversight committees concerned only with museums, galleries, and related facilities. They include the Museum Governance Committee at Housatonic Community College and the Faculty Committee for Museums and Galleries at Oregon State University. MUSEUM GROUPINGS Among the more effective systems for coordinating and making effective use of resources has been the placing of museums into umbrella groups-either in broad or in specific fields. When they are organized broadly, the museums normally have the same director, which is not necessarily the case with those museums in specialized fields. Broad-based groups include the Museums of Hartwick, which has four facilities—an anthropology museum, an art gallery, an herbarium, and an archive—at Hartwick College; Museums of Beloit College, consisting of an art museum and an anthropology museum; University Museums, composed of two connecting museums with archaeological, historical, and folk art materials at the University of Mississippi; and University Museums, with an art museum, a historic building, sculpture garden, and a campus art program at Iowa State University. In the specialized fields, Harvard University has two major groupings—Harvard Art Museums, composed of three major art museums (Fogg Art Museums, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sackler Museum), and Harvard Museum of Natural History, with three science-oriented museums (Botanical Museum, Mineralogical Museum, and Museum of Comparative Zoology. The Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, a research, training, and service institution in the conservation of artistic and historical works, also is part of the complex. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology also is located adjacent to the natural history museums. Two other universities have organized their natural history museums into a single composite unit. They include the University of Michigan Museums of Natural History, with five components (Exhibit Museum, Museum of Anthropology, Museum of Paleontology, Museum of Zoology, and University of Michigan Herbarium) and University of California’s Berkeley Natural History Museums, an administrative consortium that provides services to six museums (Essig Museum of Entomology, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California Museum of Paleontology, University and Jepson Herbaria, and University of California Botanical Garden) and eight field stations. At the University of Kansas, three
Informal Cooperation
73
campus museums (Snow Entomological Museum, Museum of Invertebrate Paleontology, and McGregor Herbarium) also have been incorporated into an expanded University of Kansas Natural History Museum. These museums generally share facilities or are located nearby, work together on exhibits and programs, exchange information, avoid some duplication of staff and services, and often effect cost savings as a result of the combined structure. Whatever the type of facility or the nature of the university or college system, however, museums and similar facilities tend to reflect “the mission of their parent institutions through an emphasis on research and education, a more specialized conception of the disciplines that comprise their focus and an emphasis placed on audiences that (are) also constituents of the parent organization,” as pointed out by Paisley S. Cato in his study of natural history museums in Museum Management and Curatorship. INFORMAL COOPERATION Many forms of informal cooperation and collaboration take place among museums, galleries, and related facilities on university and college campuses. They include occasional meetings of directors to discuss issues of mutual interest, formation of joint committees in special fields, cooperative projects, and a variety of other activities. Informal meetings are the most common. Directors of all the museums and galleries on the six Claremont Colleges campuses meet and work together regularly. Harvard University has a Museums Council, consisting of directors and often involving exhibit designers. At Yale University, communication among museum directors also is informal. In addition, there are committees related to conservation and museum shops and a joint membership program between the Yale University Art Gallery and the Yale Center for British Art. The University of Utah museums of fine arts and natural history, arboretum, and performing arts theater have an informal coalition and cooperate on obtaining increased funding and other matters affecting their operations. A loose consortium of campus resources, called Cultural and Natural Outreach Programs, at the University of Northern Iowa is concerned with campus and community programs offered by the university’s museum, art gallery, greenhouse, biological preserves, and one-room school. One of the most frequent types of cooperation is in the collections area. Among the universities and colleges where directors, curators, and/or collections managers communicate, cooperate, and share mutual support are Luther College, which has a Collections Committee; Michigan State University, with a Collections Council; and University of Iowa, which works through a Collections Coalition. Other examples of informal cooperation and collaboration include a Museum Informatics Project to collect information on collections and other systems at campus museums and
74
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
an informal group that meets to discuss issues of common interest, particularly marketing, at the University of California, Berkeley; periodic meetings of museum conservators at Indiana University, where campus museums also belong to the Alliance of Bloomington Museums; an ad hoc consortium of university and city museums and related facilities at the University of Michigan; and a five-college consortium that includes representatives of museums and galleries at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING Most museums, galleries, and related facilities at universities and colleges have relatively simple organizational structures and rather small staffs. Since few museum-like facilities have their own governing boards, nearly all the directors are appointed by and report to an academic department chairperson; the dean of the college to which the facility is attached; a campuswide senior administrator, such as the provost, vice president, vice chancellor, or president; or the director of the library, arts center, student union, or other building where the museum or gallery is located. The director frequently is the only full-time museum or gallery staff member, with other staff members often being part-time people-such as curators from the academic department or college faculty, office help, volunteers, and work/study students, interns, and other students. It is only in the larger institutions that there are more extensive organizational structures and staffs resembling those of their nonacademic counterparts. The smallest staffs—usually one to four full-time and/or part-time people—are found at art galleries, historical facilities, planetariums, and small specialized museums and related facilities. They generally include a director/curator, a secretarial/clerical assistant, and collections, exhibits, and/or other personnel. Faculty members also may be involved from a curatorial standpoint, and students may be used to assist with the research, mounting, maintenance, security, and/ or other such functions. Some facilities do not have any full-time staff members. Most art galleries do not have a need for large staffs. Since many galleries do not have collections, it is not necessary to assemble or care for collections, and the exhibition spaces usually are under several thousand square feet and can be manned by a single person, generally a student, intern, or volunteer. The full-time staff often consists only of the gallery director, and sometimes there is no full-time director, with gallery being directed by the head of the art department, as occurs at the Western Kentucky University Gallery. At Goucher College’s Silber Gallery, the gallery is directed by the college’s exhibitions and collections coordinator. The only staff member at Ray Drew Gallery at New Mexico Highlights University is the director. Some galleries have interns to assist with gallery operations, as at the Macalester
Organization and Staffing
75
College Art Gallery, which has 10 interns. Many galleries have other assistance, such as the 11 part-time employees, five volunteers, and one intern at the UN Gallery of Art at the University of Northern Iowa. But staffing varies considerably, usually varying with such factors as facility size, budget, mission, collections, exhibits, programs, leadership, and/or outside support. The Harvard Art Museums, which consists of three museums, has had approximately 138 full-time staff members, 21 part-time employees, 28 volunteers, and seven interns, while the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, a part of Florida State University, once reported as having 126 full-time employees, 115 part-time employees, 725 volunteers, and 10 interns.At the University of California, Los Angeles, the Hammer Museum has a full-time staff of 93, 100 part-timers, 40 volunteers, and 20 interns. These large staffs normally include such key personnel as the director, associate and/or assistant director, curators, collections manager, archivist, registrar, conservator, librarian, and the heads of such departments as business/finances, human resources, exhibit design, education/outreach, communications, facilities/events, security, and store. Among the other art museums with extensive staffs are the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, with normally about 60 full-time personnel, 20 part-time employees, 60 volunteers, and eight interns; University of Michigan Museum of Art, 44 full-time staff members, 30 part-time employees, 100 volunteers, and six interns, and Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, 22 full-time staff, 13 part-time employees,170 volunteers, and six interns. Smaller art museums have smaller numbers, as indicated by the University of Arizona Museum of Art, with nine full-time staff, three part-time employees, 56 volunteers, and six interns, while the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum has nine full-time personnel, 21 part-time employees, 22 volunteers, and five interns. Large staff also can be found at museums in other fields. The Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida has had 108 full-time staff members, 250 part-time employees, 938 volunteers, and 20 interns; University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, 101 full-time staff, two part-time employees, 250 volunteers, and 12 interns; Earlham College’s Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, 89 full-time staff, 238 part-time employees, and 488 volunteers; and Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, Yale University, 63 full-time staff, 15 part-time employees, 217 volunteers, and three interns. Some specialized sites also have sizeable staffs and numbers of volunteers, such as the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, University of California, San Diego, which has had about with 54 full-time staff members and 302 volunteers. But most of the historically oriented specialized museums—which often are smaller and have limited space and attendance—do not. For example, the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments, University of Michigan, usually has 2 full-time people and one volunteer; Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection, Indiana University, one staff member, one part-time
76
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
employee, four volunteers, and one intern; and University of Maryland School of Nursing Museum, one staff member and 24 volunteers. In the botanical sciences, the composition of the staffing varies widely—frequently depending upon the nature and size of the facility. The 5-acre W. J. Beal Botanical Garden at Michigan State University has had two full-time staff members, two part-time employees, and two interns, and the 125-acre Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University has six full-time staff members and 30 volunteers. The University of Alabama Arboretum has had three full-time personnel, one part-time employee, one full-time volunteer, and 25 part-time volunteers, while Harvard University’s larger 265-acre Arnold Arboretum has had a full-time staff of 51, 100 volunteers, and 14 interns. Many museums, galleries, and related facilities are involved in museum studies programs and often make use of interns and work/study students The University of Arizona Museum of Art has an internship program and opportunities for independent studies, while the Robert Hull Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont uses work/study students. As indicated earlier, interns are utilized at many museums and other facilities. OPERATING PRACTICES Operating decisions usually are made by the director of the museum, gallery, or related facility—often in consultation with the office to which he or she reports and/or after discussions with the facility’s department heads, senior staff members, and/or advisory committee. But there are many differences, particularly in such matters as collections, exhibitions, fund raising, planning, and the use of advisory and other committees. Advisory committees can be invaluable in discussing and providing guidance in matters of policy, direction, acquisitions, and exhibitions. “They can provide a salutary check and balance on the director, as well as support and protection,” Allen Rosenbaum, director of the Princeton University Art Museum, pointed out at a symposium at Vassar College. He believes the composition of such committees in the art field “should reflect the interests of the art history department, but should not be weighted in favor of the department and should certainly not be composed exclusively of members of that department.” The University of Michigan Museum of Art, which reports to the vice provost for academic affairs, has a nine-member Executive Committee composed of university faculty, administrators, and community representatives to advise the museum on acquisitions, loans, and general policy. The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia makes use of an Advisory Committee in decisions regarding exhibition themes, long-range planning, and other aspects of its operations, while Bowling Green State University’s three galleries have a Gallery Advisory Board that consults on planning and programming.
Differences of Opinion
77
At the University of Nebraska State Museum, a Museum Advisory Board (consisting of the chairs or directors of six university departments or divisions directly related to the museum’s activities) must approve plans for any major fund-raising drives. These plans then go to the vice chancellor of research and graduate studies and the chancellor of the Lincoln Campus before being forwarded to the University of Nebraska Foundation, which works with the museum to raise the funds. The Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College has a Gallery Advisory Committee consisting of administrators, trustees, faculty members, students, and staff members, while the URI Fine Arts Center Galleries at the University of Rhode Island work with a Gallery Committee comprised of studio and art history faculty. Many other art galleries also have exhibition committees, generally composed of art faculty members. They include the Davis Art Gallery at Stephens College, with a Gallery Committee that oversees acquisitions and the permanent collection and determines what works are to hang on the campus. Boston University Art Gallery, which makes use of an Exhibition Board of university and arts administrators that meets once or twice a year to approve exhibition schedules and related matters. In addition to the methods mentioned earlier, various other means are used to oversee certain museum, gallery, and related activities. At the U.S. Military Academy’s West Point Museum, coordination is organized by mission (e.g., facility requirements are under the director of engineering, security is overseen by the provost marshal, and budget issues fall under the resource management director). Museum and gallery publications and marketing are centralized at Eastern Washington University. And no campus museum can be disbanded without the approval of a committee of all museum curators at Pennsylvania State University. Peter B. Tirrell, while assistant director of the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History at the University of Oklahoma, pointed out the need for more strategic planning at campus museums and related facilities, saying: University museums usually face a heavily bureaucratized system of planning, dwindling support, inconsistent criteria for evaluation, constantly changing administration, and special interest pressures from inside and outside their university communities. Strategic planning enhances the ability of university museums to anticipate their environment, maintain a clearer view of what they really want to be, and effectively compete in the challenging economic, academic, administrative, and community climate.
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION Differences of opinion often are expressed about the governance, organization, and staffing of n1Useums, galleries, and related facilities at American universities and colleges. Sometimes advocates want campus museums and similar facilities to be tied
78
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
more closely to academic teaching and research programs, while others would like to see museum-like facilities have more operational independence. Selma Holo, when director of the Fisher Gallery (now Fisher Museum of Art) and Museum Studies Program at the University of Southern California, stated: The academic mission must be incorporated into the museum mission of collecting, preserving, and interpreting objects. As long as faculties feel that their museum perceives itself as separate from the academic mission, every advance the museum makes financially will be resented, and every loss will be seen as a weakness to be exploited. As part of a university or college, the uneasy fit that we represent must be refashioned. We must become part of the teaching and research role of the institution.
Most campus museum professionals agree that their facility’s mission should match that of the university or college, but there is considerable disagreement over the reporting relationship. The Association of Art Museum Directors, for example, believes the director of a university or college art museum should report to the central administration instead of the department, division, or school head. In its Professional Practices in Art Museums, the association explained: Since the museum (like the library) is seen as one of those resources of a university/ college responding to the needs of the entire university/college community, and frequently to those of the general public, it is appropriate that the Director should report to the central administration of the university/college rather than to some section/part of the university/college such as a department, division head, or school. Placing the museum thus in the larger administrative pattern will encourage its responding to the greater needs of the university/college rather than to some part thereof.
The director of a museum should be given “authority commensurate with his or her responsibility and the complexity of the task,” according to Rosenbaum of the Princeton University Art Museum: The museum should not be subordinate to a single department, especially one with ... strong vested interests, nor should the director report to the chairperson of that department. Even if a concession is made on the issue of reporting, the department may only be willing to cede custodial responsibility but not governance.
Donald Gilbertson, former director of the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, made a study of campus natural history museums in which he concluded that no museum in which the director or curators reported to a department head was extremely productive or rated highly in the field. In a 1992 article in Curator, Philip S. Humphrey, then director of the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, sought to differentiate between university and non university museums, saying: University museums and collections are distinguished by their purposes, organizational contexts and reward systems-all of which enable them to provide essential benefits to their

Humphrey then proceeded to point out how he saw the differences: The missions of university museums are subsumed under the academic goals of their parent institutions and thus have a primary academic role different from those museums in the public sector; campus museums and collections are units or entities of their parent educational institutions rather than free standing; their administration is without direct trustee oversight, since they lack their own governing boards; the missions and needs of university museums and collections are only a small part of the broad spectrum of concerns and priorities of their parent institutions; most universities provide their campus museums and collections with various services, academic resources, and participation in graduate and undergraduate programs at no cost; most curators are full-time, tenure-track faculty members whose principal responsibilities are scholarship and teaching; because of the tenure system, university museums have the potential to address controversial issues and to be more innovative than non-university museums; and university museums and their associated graduate programs are a major—and, in some disciplines, the primary—source of Ph.D.-level scholar curators employed by both university and non-university museums. Not everyone agrees that university museums are more likely to address controversial issues and be innovative in some areas. For instance, Judy Diamond, a curator and a leader in public programs at the University of Nebraska State Museum, has said at the University of Nebraska State Museum, feels that few campus museums have realized their potential in dealing with controversies and innovations, especially in public programming. She points out that under half of the universities in Humphrey’s survey have public programs and that few “are known for their first-class public programs.” Rosenbaum of Princeton University also has reservations about faculty serving as curators, stating: Faculty curators may be of the greatest benefit to the museum or simply ciphers-but good, bad, or indifferent, they rarely have time or feel any obligation to deal with the many ongoing curatorial duties, the housekeeping, for often substantial collections. A list of faculty curators (in addition to and often outnumbering, in-house curators) may give the impression that the museum is well staffed. However, the existence of the faculty curator is often the reason for the chronic understaffing of university and college museums.
Despite these differences of opinion and other difficulties mentioned earlier, university and college museums and similar facilities have made considerable progress in improving their management, organization, and staffing in recent decades. But much still remains to be accomplished at many institutions in refining their role, structure, and operations.
Chapter 4
The Mission Academic museums, galleries, and related facilities have written or unwritten objectives known as “missions.” They usually are different from those of public, private, and government sites in the community at large, and even from other campus museums and related facilities. The objectives often are given in mission statements. The purpose sometimes is described in a single sentence, while the statements contain more objectives at other times. Regardless of the length, the intent is the same—to explain the purpose of the institution. Academic museums and related facilities generally differ from similar non-academic operations in that they basically are internally focused on the teaching, research, and enjoyment of the academic community, rather than serving the general public. However, most also invite the public to their offerings. Campus museums and related facilities also usually differ in funding, control, function, staffing, and educational role. They normally are not funded to make a profit, but rather to be subsidized by the university or college, hopefully with some support from donors. Most places are part of academic departments, usually overseen by faculty members, and containing collections and exhibits used in instruction and/or research. Some of the larger facilities have a professional staff, while others rely on student assistance. The objectives vary from collecting, preserving,

studying, displaying, and interpreting objects of intrinsic value to merely presenting changing exhibitions for educational and/or entertainment purposes. Many of the art galleries and some of the science centers do not have collections, but feature exhibits and programs, usually of contemporary art or science. Mission statements differ for those academic museums and related facilities that are devoted largely to collecting and research, particularly in the sciences. Some of the collections contain millions of specimens and other objects kept in storage primarily for preservation and research purposes—not for exhibitry. In some cases, these museums are closed to the public, or have rare guided tours of the collections. ART MUSEUMS AND GALLERIES Art Museums and art galleries are similar in some ways, and different in other aspects. Both are devoted to artworks and education, but a difference usually exists in mission, size, and operation. Art museums usually have larger facilities, staffs, exhibits, programs, and budgets, and have more research and a more comprehensive art role. They are collectors, preservers, researchers, exhibitors, interpreters, and promoters of art. Although some art galleries have collections, they generally are not extensive—and they are used primarily for exhibition purposes. In some cases, galleries use selections from the university or college permanent collection. Some art museum mission statements are brief, such as the one at the William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut on the reason for its establishment: The William Benton Museum of Art, the University of Connecticut, has been established for the collection, preservation, research, and interpretation of works of art. The Museum exists for the University of Connecticut academic community, for citizens of the state and other programs to the greater understanding and appreciation of art.
The Yale University Art Gallery, one of a number of museums with a gallery name, focuses more on its role in furthering art appreciation and understanding: The mission of the Yale University of Art Gallery is to encourage appreciation and understanding of art and its role in society through direct engagement with original works of art. The Gallery stimulates active learning about art and the creative process through research, teaching, and dialogue among communities of Yale students, faculty, artists, scholars, alumni, and the wider public. The Gallery organizes exhibitions and education programs to offer enjoyment and encouraging inquiry, while building and maintaining its collections in trust for future generations.
At the Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles, the mission statement takes an even broader view: The Hammer Museum explores the capacity of art to impact and illuminate our lives. Through its collections, exhibitions, and programs, the Hammer examines the depth and diversity of artistic expression through the centuries with a special emphasis on art of our time. At the core of the Hammer’s mission is the recognition that artists play a crucial role
Art Museums and Galleries
83
in all aspects of human experience. The Hammer advances UCLA’s mission by contributing to the intellectual life of the University and the world beyond.
The Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami gives a summary statement and then gives six ways in which it performs its mission: The mission of the Lowe Art Museum, the art museum of the University of Miami, is to serve the University, the Greater South Florida communities, and national and international visitors as a teaching and exhibiting resource through its permanent and borrowed collections. The Lowe Art Museum: 1. Collects original, quality works of art primarily from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. 2. Exhibits and preserves the permanent collection according to the highest professional standards. 3. Researches the permanent collection and publishes the findings in exhibition catalogues and articles. 4. Organizes traveling exhibitions and loans of individual works from the permanent collection to expand knowledge and appreciation of art both regionally and nationally. 5. Enhances the appreciation of the permanent collection through borrowed and organized traveling exhibitions and loans of individual works. 6. Supports, extends, and enriches the mission of the University of Miami for students, faculty, scholars, residents, and visitors to South Florida to appreciate and more fully comprehend art and its history.
Not all art galleries have mission statements. The galleries with stated objectives usually emphasize exhibitions instead of collections. It frequently takes the form of a brief statement about exhibiting art. The Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College stated its purpose when founded as: The purpose of the Keene State College Thorne-Sagendorph Art gallery shall be to encourage a broader and deeper appreciation of the visual arts by bringing to Keene State College and the greater Monadnock community a broad selection of paintings, graphics, sculpture, and other works of art. These must be of significant quality and educational value.
Some galleries have longer statements, especially if they have collections. The Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University gives a five-paragraph statement on its activities, starting with this introduction: The Samek Art Gallery is an integral art of the intellectual and cultural life of Bucknell University and the region. Samek programming and collections accomplish this by providing access to art from different cultures and with diverse perspectives, with interdisciplinary programming that fosters intellectual exploration and creativity for Bucknell students and the university community, and by complementing the curricular needs of its faculty and students.

The Western Gallery at Western Washington University has broader responsibilities than just the art gallery, including management of the campus outdoor sculpture collection: The Western Gallery provides diverse experiences in the visual arts for its constituencies, encompassing the University community and region while providing a point of reference to the national and international art scene. Through historical, contemporary, and experimental art exhibitions, through the outdoor collection of contemporary sculpture, through publications, and through interpretive interdisciplinary programs, the Western Gallery is committed to creating an environment for learning. The gallery acts as a center for discussion and exchange of ideas on critical issues in contemporary art. The Western Gallery recognizes its role in expanding its audience awareness of the visual arts as central to the dynamic and pluralistic nature of our society.
Some art galleries are interdisciplinary. The Beall Center for Art + Technology at the University of California, Irvine, for example, focuses on the relationships between the arts, sciences, and engineering, as indicated in its mission statement: The mission of the Beall Center is to support research and exhibitions that explore new relationships between the arts, sciences, and engineering, and thus promote new forms of creation and expression using digital techniques. The Beall Center aspires to redefine the museum/gallery experience, both in content and form, formulating answers to the questions of how technology can be used effectively not only to create new forms of art, but also to connect artist to artist, and artist with audience.
SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND RELATED FACILITIES Science museums and related fields have a wide range of fields—from research-oriented science museums to interactive science centers and from botanical sciences to planetariums and observatories. The same applies to their mission statements. The University of California Paleontology Museum, which has one of the largest research programs and collections of fossil remains, has a short mission statement: The mission of the University of California Museum of Paleontology is to investigate and promote the understanding of the history of life and the diversity of the Earth’s biota through research and education.
The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology has a more detailed list of “goals and objectives,” which are summarized, followed by a list of uses for physlogenies: Through the efforts of University faculty-curators and staff, the Museum of Zoology develops and maintains excellent zoological collections explicitly for use in research and education benefiting science, society, and the university. Organismal and genetic resource collections, at UM and elsewhere, are the best tangible record we have of life on Earth, providing a crucial resource for research and teaching about biodiversity, both now and in the future. Comprehensive understanding of the origins, evolution, and conservation of biodiversity is predicated on analyses and access to the tangible record. The scientific role of the UMMZ is to train students and engage in systematic biology and biodiversity studies. These broad and overlapping fields entail the scientific study of the diversity of organisms and of any and all relationships among them. Discovering life’s

diversity and its phylogenetic relationships is, of course, just a beginning. Phylogenetic analyses are integral to the full range of biodiversity studies.
The James Ford Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota has a single sentence mission statement and follows it with an explanation of how it is implemented: The mission of the Bell Museum is to advance the quest to discover, document, and understand life in its many forms and to insure curiosity, delight, and informed stewardship of the natural world.
At interactive science and technology centers, the emphasis is on public “hands-on” educational experiences in science, mathematics, and technology. This is reflected in the mission statement for the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley: The Lawrence Hall of Science is the public science center of the University of California, Berkeley and an innovative leader in the field of science and mathematics education. To advance interest, skills, and knowledge, we: x Engage students and their families in exciting science and mathematics at LHS as well as in their classrooms, schools, and communities; x Design and disseminate effective instructional materials and exhibits. x Create distinctive learning and leadership opportunities for educators. LHS is committed to serving all, especially those with limited access to science and mathematics
The Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill describes its mission somewhat differently: The UNC Morehead Planetarium and Science Center informs the public about the foundations and frontiers of scientific discovery. Through innovative educational experiences, Morehead engages the public and the University community in a forum for interpreting contemporary science.
UA Science: Flandrau, a new public science center at the University of Arizona, presents still another approach in its “Vision” statement: UA Science: Flandrau brings together the University of Arizona and regional communities to inspire the teaching and learning of science and technology, create pathways to lifelong learning, and promote the area’s social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
The mission statement of MIT Museum, a more traditional science museum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, points out how it differs from other campus science museums: The museum of the MIT Museum is to engage the wider community with MIT’s science, technology, and other areas of scholarship in ways that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century. The MIT Museum fulfills this mission by collecting and preserving artifacts that are significant in the life of MIT, creating exhibits and programs that are firmly rooted in MIT’s areas of endeavor; engaging MIT faculty, staff, and students with the wider community. The Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and exhibiting materials that serve as a resource for the study and interpretation of the intellectual, educational, and social history

Harris National Museum of Dentistry at the University of Maryland, Baltimore emphasizes oral health: The National Museum of Dentistry inspires people to make healthy choices about oral health by creating and sharing learning opportunities that celebrate the heritage and future of dentistry, the achievements of dental professionals, and the importance of oral health in a healthy life.
OTHER FIELDS Museums and galleries in other fields have similar mission statements describing their basic objectives and describing their roles on the campus. The emphasis usually is on their collections and use in teaching, research, and furthering public understanding and appreciation of the various disciplines. In the history field, the Center for Western Studies at Augustana College in South Dakota states its mission in a few words: The mission of the Center for Western Studies at Augustana College is preserving and interpreting the history and cultures of the Northern Plains.
At Pennsylvania State University, the Pasto Agricultural Museum, located at the university’s agricultural research center, describes its mission thus: The mission of the Pasto Agricultural Museum is to provide the general public with an understanding and appreciation for early agriculture and rural life especially in Pennsylvania and the northeastern United States.
The Bard Graduate Center explains the mission for its decorative arts, design history, and material culture gallery as follows: Our mission is to organize exhibitions and convey the meanings of objects—from things of the most exquisite aesthetic intentionality to the ordinary things of everyday life. We examine objects in a broad cultural context from different curatorial points of view. Our focus is on conceiving exhibitions rather than on building or maintaining a permanent collection. Instead, our curators select, specifically for each exhibition, objects that come to use as loans from public and private collections throughout the world.
The mission of the University of Rhode Island’s Historic Textile and Costume Collection, which contains almost 20,000 objects, is given as three-fold: x Teaching textile, costume design, historic costume, and historic textile classes in the TMD department as well as other departments on campus. x Research by students, faculty, and visiting scholars. x Exhibition in the Textile Gallery and loans for exhibitions in other museums.

The museum illuminates the local and world connections behind the arts, humanities, and sciences. As a teaching museum, we offer hands-on opportunities in progressive museum practices and provide leadership to museums across the region.
Religious museums and galleries also explain their objectives in mission statements. The Jewish Museum, part of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City, describes its mission as: The Jewish Museum is dedicated to the enjoyment, understanding, and preservation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Jewish people through unparalleled collections, distinguished exhibitions, and related education programs. Using art and artifacts that embody the diversity of the Jewish experience from ancient to present times, throughout the world, the Museum strives to be a source of inspiration and shared human values for people of all religions and cultural backgrounds while serving as a special touchstone of identity for Jewish people. As a vital cultural resource for New York residents and visitors of all ages. The Museum also reaches out to national and international communities as it interprets and reserves art ad Jewish culture for current and future generations.
Universities are the home of four federal-operated presidential libraries and/or museums, including the Lloyd Baines Johnson Library and Museum at the University of Texas at Austin, whose stated mission is: To preserve and protect the historical materials in the collections of the Johnson Library and make them readily accessible; to increase public awareness of the American experience through relevant exhibitions and educational programs; to advance the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum’s standing as a center for intellectual activity and community leadership while meeting the challenges of a changing world.
As indicated, the mission statements of academic museums, galleries, and related facilities take many different forms. Some missions were stated at the founding and others were adopted or changed at a later date. They also are very general or rather detailed. But they

89
all have one thing in common—they help explain the purpose or objectives of a museum or similar facility, and often provide guidance in their operation and greater understanding of their function in the academic and public communities.
Chapter 5
Collections and Research Collections of artworks, scientific specimens, historical artifacts, and other objects no longer can be found at all museums and related facilities. However, collections still are the heart of most museums and their research, and are located even at some contemporary art, science, and other types of facilities that emphasize exhibits rather than objects. Collections range from a few hundred to millions of objects and specimens, varying according to the fields and the role of collections. In general, small museums have fewer items in collections than large facilities, and research-oriented science museums have more specimens in their collections than other types of museums and related facilities. But a collection may be just as important or valuable because of its age, worth, or history. Collections usually are invaluable and support the mission of a museum, as stated by the McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina: McKissick Museum’s collections in material culture, natural science, and decorative and fine arts support its mission of documentation and education relating to the cultural heritage and natural environment of South Carolina and the Southeast.
ART COLLECTIONS Collections of artworks are essential to art museums, which depend upon them for their exhibits, research, educational programs, and other activities. The Harvard Art Museums,
The nation’s largest collegiate art collection is located at the Harvard Art Museums, which consists of three museums—Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sacker Museum. The collection totals more than 250,000 objects. The three museums have their own staffs, collections, and exhibits and sometimes present joint exhibits, such as Re-view Exhibition, which features modern and contemporary works from the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger collections in the “European and American Art since 1900” gallery (depicted here).

MILLIONS OF SPECIMENS AND OBJECTS The largest academic collections run into the millions at research-oriented museums in the natural sciences. The collections usually consist of specimens and objects used primarily in scientific research, as well as in teaching and exhibitions. They often are small specimens stored in hundreds of drawers and on shelves, but they sometimes also are as large as dinosaur fossils or mounted animals. Two of the largest collections in natural history are at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. The Florida museum has more than 30 million specimens of amphibians, birds, butterflies, fish, mammals, mollusks, reptiles, vertebrate and invertebrate fossils, recent and fossil plants, and associated databases and libraries. The Peabody museum has over 20 million specimens and objects in such fields as anthropology, botany, entomology, mineralogy, paleontology, zoology, meteorites and planetary science, and historical scientific instruments collection. The University of Nebraska State Museum, a natural history museum, contains 15 million objects in its collections in anthropology, botany, entomology, geology, malacology, parasitology, and meteorites.

It has a 150-acre arboretum, a 25-acre botanical garden, and gardens on the campus, and protects and manages over 40 natural areas with nearly 4,300 acres of diverse habitats. Some universities have large forests, including Harvard University, which operates Harvard Forest, a 3,000-acre ecological research and education complex with a forestry museum in Petersham, Massachusetts, and Michigan State University has the Fred Russ Forest, a 970-acre experimental forest used for research, teaching, and outreach activities in Decatur, Michigan. Many colleges and universities have herbariums, but not all are open to the public. The Harvard University Herbaria, with more than 5 million specimens, is the largest university owned herbarium in the world. It is one of the three research-oriented museums that are part of Harvard Museum of Natural History. Among the others with large collections are the University and Jepson Herbarium at the University of California, Berkeley, which has approximately 2.2 million specimens; University of Wisconsin-Madison Herbarium, containing over 1 million dried and labeled plants; University of North Carolina Herbarium, with more than 750,000 labeled specimens of plants, algae, fungi, and fossils; and Michigan State University Herbarium, which has over 500,000 specimens from more than 1,800 species. Some science and technology museums and centers have collections, and others consist primarily of hands-on exhibits. The collection-oriented historical science museums include Harvard University’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, which has over 20,000 objects dating from 1400 to the present; Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum, with a collection of early scientific equipment, anatomical models, and botanical paintings used in teaching, Transylvania University; and Oesper Museum of Chemical Apparatus, which has a collection of early chemical laboratory equipment, University of Cincinnati. Planetariums and observatories usually do not have collections, although some have exhibits and/or small collections of telescopes, meteorites, space equipment, or astronomical photographs. The John C. Wells Planetarium at James Madison University displays meteorites in its lobby from the JMC Meteorite Collection, and the Abrams Planetarium

at Michigan State University has an exhibit hall and art gallery with objects from its collections. Astronomical and space exploration equipment collections and exhibits are more likely to be found at planetariums that have science centers or observatories with visitor centers, such as the Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College, which has space artifacts, and the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory Visitors Center, part of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center of Astrophysics, which contains a telescope collection. Few colleges and universities have marine science museums or aquariums, but where they are located they generally have large collections of fish and other marine specimens. The College of William and Mary College’s Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences at Goucester Point has a visitor center with exhibits and a fish collection of approximately 20,000 catalogued lots of fish that comprise 128,000 specimens in 247 families. At the University of California, San Diego, the Birch Aquarium at Scripps at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography contains more than 5,000 animals representing 380 species, as well as about 60 tanks of Pacific fishes and invertebrates. The University of Hawaii’s Waikiki Aquarium holds more than 3,500 marine animals and over 500 species of aquatic animals and plants. In the medical, dental, and related health fields, most of the museums have historical collections. Among the collections are the Dittrick Museum of Medical History at Case Western Reserve University, consisting of more than 50,000 medical artifacts, rare books, archives, and images; Warren Anatomical Museum at Harvard University, with 15,000 objects in the history of medicine and health education; and such library/museums as the Harvey Cushing/Jay Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University and the Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum at Baylor University, which have collections of medical books, journals, papers, photographs, and other objects. COLLECTIONS IN OTHER FIELDS Every field has its collections—even presidential libraries and museums operated by the federal government, but located on academic campuses. These presidential library/museums have the largest collections among museums and related facilities at universities and colleges. The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum at the University of Texas at Austin contains 45 million pages of historical documents from the public career of President Johnson and close associates, as well as such other materials as historical documents, photographs, films, videotapes, audio recordings, books, and serials. The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University holds 43 million pages of personal papers and official documents from the presidency and vice presidency and the records of associates connected to President Bush’s career. It also has a wealth of additional materials. The Gerald R. Ford Library at the University of Michigan (the presidential museum is located in his hometown of Grand Rapids) has 25 million pages of memos, letters, meeting notes, reports, and other historical documents; 500,000

audiotapes; and such other materials as photographs, news broadcasts, speeches, press briefings, films, and campaign commercials. Most academic museum collections do not come close to the collections of presidential libraries and museums. However, as indicated in the foregoing section, some collectionoriented science museums have large collections. The sizes of collections in all fields vary greatly. This section highlights some of the collections in fields beyond art and science. Some historical museums, houses, and sites have extensive collections and/or exhibits, while others honor historical figures and/or preserve and interpret historic places. One of the largest collections is at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum at West Texas A&M University, which has more than 3 million artifacts. Other historical museums with substantial collections are the Evergreen Museum and Library, an 1878 mansion with over 50,000 of the donor’s family furnishings, art, and other possessions, Johns Hopkins University; Kentucky Library and Museum, approximately 50,000 artifacts and 100.000 archaeological objects; and West Point Museum, and U.S. Military Academy, 45,000 military and other objects from ancient times to the present. The former homes of presidents, military leaders, business leaders, authors, artists, and others with distinguished careers have become academic historic house museums containing collections with many of their belongings, such as the Ash Lawn-Highland, the 1799 home and 535-acre working plantation of President James Monroe, College of William and Mary; Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and The Evergreens, which celebrates the life of the famous poet in the nineteenth century at her home, Amherst College; and Lee Chapel and Museum, honoring General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate Army leader during the Civil War and university president, Washington and Lee University. Many other collection-oriented historic structures and sites also have become a academic museums, including The Rotunda, an 1822-26 university library designed by Thomas Jefferson, University of Virginia, and Historic New Harmony, the site of two early 1800s utopian communities, University of Southern Indiana. In some cases, historic structures have been brought together as collections to form outdoor museums on university campuses, such as the National Ranching Heritage Center, with 38 relocated early ranch structures, Texas Tech University, and Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village, containing 15 authentic buildings reflecting agricultural life from 1880 to 1910, Baylor University. At the Conner Prairie Interactive Historical Park, a living history pioneer village has been re-created around an 1823 home and farm, Earlham College. Some of the largest collections can be found at library museums, such as the Amherst College’s Folger Shakespeare Library and Harvard University’s Dunbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in Washington The Folger has 256,000 books, 60,000 manuscripts, 250,000 playbills, 200 oil paintings, 50,000 drawings, watercolors, prints, and photo-
Collections in Other Fields 101
graphs, as well as collections of musical instruments, costumes, and films. The Dunbarton has 125,000 volumes, about 10 acres of gardens, and exhibits from its art, rare books, and other collections. Baylor University has the Armstrong Browning Library, which is devoted to the lives, poetry, and books of Robert and Elizabeth Browning and has permanent exhibits and changing exhibitions largely based on its collections. Many campus libraries have special collections of artworks, historical objects, and/or other materials that they use in organizing exhibitions. Pennsylvania State University, which has 36 libraries at 24 locations in the state and nearly 5 million items in its collections, presents exhibits from its collections in many of the libraries, including the two largest facilities—Pattee and Paterno libraries—and such specialized libraries as the architecture/landscape architecture and earth/mineral sciences libraries on the main campus. Indiana University’s Lilly Library, with approximately 400,000 books, over 7.5 million manuscripts, and more than 100,000 pieces of sheet music, has three galleries that display selections from its collections. At Princeton University, the Harvey S. Firestone Library contains four galleries, lobby exhibit cases, and an online exhibit program featuring it collections. The Harry Ransom Center, a humanities research library and archive at the University of Texas at Austin, offers changing exhibitions from its collection of over 36 million literary manuscripts, 1 million rare books, 5 million photographs, and 100,000 works of art. Campus libraries also are the site of other museums and galleries. The Oglethorpe University Museum of Art is housed in the Philip Weltner Library; Louisiana Tech Museum, a general museum, in Prescott Memorial Library at Louisiana Tech University; and Museum of Anthropology in Meriam Library at California State University, Chico. Numerous art galleries also are located at libraries, including the Coe College, Guilford College, and Thomas College art galleries. Costumer, textile, and fashion museums have extensive collections of historical and/or contemporary collections. The Design Center at Philadelphia University has a collection of approximately 200,000 historical and contemporary textiles and related objects. Other collections include the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Museum of FIT, which has more than 50,000 historic and contemporary garments and accessories, over 30,000 textiles, and around 15,000 accessories, including shoes, hats, and bags; University of Minnesota’s Goldstein Museum of Design, with about 26,000 apparel, textile, graphic design, and decorative arts objects; and University of Rhode Island’s Historic Textile and Costume Collection, containing nearly 20,000 textiles, costumes, and other materials from throughout the world. Texas Woman’s College has a most unusual collection—the Texas First Ladies Historic Costume Collection—which consists of 42 gowns worn by the wives of Texas governors, presidents of the Republic of Texas, and several presidents and vice presidents.

museum with collections are the UCR/California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside, which has an extensive collection consisting of five inter-linked collections of prints, negatives, and equipment; Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago, 9,000 photographs and related objects; and Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona State College, more than 3,500 photographs. Ethnic museums and galleries take many different forms of history, art, and science museums and galleries—many with sizeable collections. One of the largest collections is at the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University, which contains over 15 million documents and other materials relating to African American history and race relations. Some of the more typical collections include more than 20,000 Native American artifacts and artworks, Ataloa Lodge Museum, Bacone College; over 15,000 items relating to Jewish history, culture, and art, Spertus Museum, Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies; more than 9,000 objects representing African American and other people and cultures around the world, Hampton University Museum; over 8,000 Jewish cultural and religious artifacts and artworks, Yeshiva University Museum; and more than 7,000 works of contemporary Native American art, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, Institute of American Indian Arts. General museums seem to have a little of everything in their collections. The multifaceted Museum of Texas Tech University has a collection of over 5 million objects in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Other representative collections include more than 70,000 objects in history, archaeology, and natural history at Arkansas State University Museum; over 50,000 objects in the sciences, humanities, and arts at the University Museum, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale; more than 30,000 archaeological, historical, art, and numismatic objects at the Museum of History, Anthropology, and Art Museum, University of Puerto Rico; 17,000 objects in art, archaeology, ethnology, and history, Yager Museum of Art and Culture, Hartwick College; and approximately 11,000 objects that include fine and decorative art, historical memorabilia, scientific instruments, Greek and Roman antiquities, and other objects, University of Mississippi Museum.

Exhibits and Programs Exhibits and programs at academic museums, galleries, and related facilities vary widely. In exhibits, many simply put objects from their collections—or loan or traveling exhibitions—with explanatory labels on display. Some create interpretive exhibits with or without artifacts. A historic house or site sometimes can be an exhibit by itself. Other museums have living history-costumed interpreters who relive the past, or “hands-on” exhibits, sometimes with objects, videos, and/or films. Planetariums and observatories rely upon astronomical shows and stargazing. And still others enable visitors to experience nature outdoors or view botanical or sculpture gardens, or some combination of the foregoing approaches. Nearly every college and university museum and related facility has some form of programming, usually of an educational nature. They include such offerings as guided tours, school group programs, gallery talks, field trips, summer camps, lectures, teacher workshops, and outreach programs to schools and communities. Some also have such special events as art shows, school science fairs, open houses, and other such related programs. It usually follows that the larger the institution and/or budget, the more educational and other programs.

AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
COLLECTION-BASED EXHIBITS Selections from collections usually are exhibited on gallery walls at art museums and galleries, and sometimes in display cases, on pedestals or the floor, or in sculpture courts or gardens. The most common exhibit is the collection-based display featuring selections from an institution’s collections. Such exhibits generally are found at art museums and some galleries, as well as historically-oriented museums that rely upon collections. Paintings, prints, and graphics usually are mounted on gallery walls, but other collection objects may be in glass cases, mounted on pedestals, displayed on the floor, or placed in sculpture courts or outdoor gardens. Small delicate, historical, or valuable objects generally are protected in cases, while larger pieces more often are displayed on museum floors or grounds, usually with protective barriers. Research-oriented science museums with collections often have specimens behind glass, in drawers, and on shelves. In the botanical sciences, the exhibits usually are the collections in gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and nature centers. Science and technology centers, on the other hand, generally have few collections and emphasize constructed exhibits with interactive techniques. At planetariums and observatories, which rarely have collections, it is the experience of seeing projected astronomy shows or the stars in the night sky that are the main attractions. The exhibits at art museums differ widely, varying with their missions, collections, curators, and management preferences. The Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles, is known for its collections and exhibits of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art, while the Yale Center for British Art reflects the development of British art, life, and thought from the Elizabethan period to the present. At Stanford University, the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts features an outdoor sculpture collection that includes figurative and abstract works by artists from the nineteenth century to the present, including Auguste Rodin. The Robert V. Fullerton Art Museum at the California State University, San Bernardino, emphasizes ancient Egyptian art. Spanish art from the 1550s to nearly the eighteenth century is the focus of the Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University. The Fogg Museum at Harvard University specializes in the art of Europe and North America from the Middle Ages to the present, while the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania is dedicated to innovative contemporary art. Virtually all art museums also organize special exhibitions and sometimes show loan and traveling exhibitions. Many art museums have sculpture courts or gardens, and some have or manage collections of historical and contemporary sculptures on the university and college grounds. Tufts University Art Gallery presents three exhibitions a year in its Remis Sculpture Court; Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago has an adjacent outdoor sculpture garden; and Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University has 70 sculptures around the campus. An entire museum devoted to sculpture—the Marshall M.
Collection-based Exhibits 107
Fredericks Sculpture Museum—is located at Saginaw Valley State University, and some colleges and universities have self-contained outdoor sculpture gardens, such as the Franklin D Murphy Sculpture Garden at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Elizabeth and Bryon Anderson Sculpture Garden at Iowa State University. Campus art galleries mainly present changing exhibitions of regional, national, and international artists, as well as the works of students, faculty, and alumni and loan and traveling exhibitions. Some galleries also have collections or use those of the art department or the university as a source of exhibitions. Among the galleries that have collections from which some exhibitions are based are SU Art Galleries, 45,000 fine art and ethnographic objects, Syracuse University; J. Wayne Stark Center Galleries, more than 9,000 works, many by Texas artists, Texas A&M University; and Samek Art Gallery, over 5,000 mostly modern and contemporary works; Bucknell University. Some of the Kent State University School of Art Galleries exhibitions come from the art school’s collection of over 3,000 pieces, ranging from African art to contemporary American masters. Grinnell College’s Faulconer Gallery has access to the college’s collection of more than 5,000 paintings, photographs, and sculpture, and the Wriston Art Center Galleries at Lawrence University sometimes produces exhibitions from the university’s collection of over 3,000 prints, drawings, paintings, and three-dimensional works. Historical museums, houses, and sites largely rely on their collections for long-term exhibits and temporary exhibitions. The Museum at Southwestern Michigan College has historical exhibits about the college and area with artifacts from its 20,000 collection; Virginia Military Institute Museum preserves and interprets the heritage of the institute with materials from its collection of 15,000 artifacts and other objects; and the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum at West Texas A&M University uses items from its collection of over 3 million in 14 large permanent exhibits dealing with such diverse subjects as dinosaurs, modern art, saddles, and automobiles, as well as changing exhibitions. Collection artifacts also are used to tell the stories of historical figures and buildings at such museums as Sam Houston State University’s Sam Houston Memorial Museum at the pioneer leader’s restored 15-acre homestead; Tusculum College’s President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library at the nation’s seventeenth president’s 1841 home; Tuskegee University’s George Washington Carver Museum, a National Historic Site, located in the famous scientist’s laboratory building; and University of Mississippi’s Rowan Oak, Home of William Faulkner, the Nobel Prize-winning author. Some colleges and universities actually have collections of historic house museums that are managed as a group, such as five mid-nineteenth campus buildings (known as Historic Bethany) at Bethany College and four l700s and 1800s buildings at Clemson University.
108
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
The University of Southern Indiana also works with the state in preserving and interpreting 12 historic structures from the 1814-27 utopian settlement period in Historic New Harmony. A number of historic towns and periods have been re-created with collection artifacts at universities and colleges, including Daniel Boone Home and Boonesfield Village, a re-created 1801-50 pioneer village that includes the frontiersman’s actual home, Lindenwood University; Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum, located at the site of the nation’s first major oil field, Lamar University; East Texas Oil Museum, a re-created town where oil was found and produced in the early 1930s, Kilgore College; Rural Life Museum and Windrush Gardens, a re-created nineteenth-century plantation with authentically furnished buildings that reflect life on a typical working plantation of the period, Louisiana State University; and Conner Prairie Interactive Historical Park, a living history outdoor museum that features a re-created 1836 rural settlement and costumed interpreters, Earlham College. Many other types of academic museums and galleries also have historically-based collections and exhibits. The Harvey S. Firestone Library at Princeton University has four galleries, lobby exhibit cases, and an online exhibit program featuring historical materials from the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections. At Yale University, the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library and its connecting History Library have exhibits from their collections. Among costume, textile, and fashion museums, the Cornell Costume and Textile Collection at Cornell University presents exhibits from its collection of early apparel and ethnographic textiles and costumes; the Goldstein Museum of Design at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities uses selections from a collection of apparel, textiles, graphic design, and decorative arts objects in exhibits; and The Design Center of Philadelphia University explores the design arts and their relationship to the communal past and present, with examples from its collection of approximately 200,000 textiles and costumes dating from the first century to the present from nearly every country in the world. Among religious museums, collections are the source of exhibits on history, culture, and religion at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religious Museum in New York City; church records at the Virginia Baptist Historical Society Archives at the University of Richmond; religious archaeology at the Tandy Archaeological Museum at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Bibles at the Quayle Bible Collection at Baker University; and art at the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art at St. Louis University. Ethnic museums like the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center at Wilberforce University, Haskell Indian Nations University Cultural Center and Museum, and St, Andrews Scottish Heritage Center at St. Andrews Presbyterian College also rely on their historical collections for exhibits.
Collection-based Exhibits 109
In the music field, the Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at the University of Michigan exhibits historic instruments from its collection of over 2,500 period and modern Western and non-Western musical instruments. At Pennsylvania State University’s Pasto Agricultural Museum, many of its more than 1,200 historical items are displayed in exhibits about early agriculture and rural life in the state and northeastern region. The Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College presents about 20 exhibitions each year from its collection of vintage and contemporary photographs. In sports, the Texas A&M Sports Museum uses photographs, equipment, and memorabilia from its collection in exhibits about exceptional players, and interactive computers and videos on outstanding athletes, plays, and memorable moments. The McKissick Museum, a general museum at the University of South Carolina, has an extensive collection and exhibits of material culture, natural science, and decorative and fine arts related to the social, cultural, and scientific development of the state and the Southeast. Most science museums also depend upon their collections for many if not all of their exhibits. The Beneski Museum of Natural History, Amherst College displays 1,700 specimens from its collection of more than 200,000 objects spanning a dozen different types of natural history materials, while the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum at Brigham Young University features exhibits of animals, birds, insects, shells, fishes, reptiles, amphibians, plants, and ecosystems from its collection of over 2,685,000 specimens. At the University of Arizona Mineral Museum, 2,000 minerals are exhibited from its collection of 19,000 specimens. Some research-oriented science museums do not have extensive exhibits and others are open only to researcher scientists. The Entomology Research Museum at the University of California, Riverside, has about a dozen exhibit cases with exotic insects, and the University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum in Madison contains a small gallery with exhibits from its collection. The Essig Museum of Entomology, which has a collection of 4.5 million insects and terrestrial anthropods at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Museum of Anthropology at the University of Michigan, with over 3 million in anthropology, archaeology, and ethnology, are closed to the public. The Museum of Paleontology at the University of Michigan, with a collection of more than 2.2 million fossils and other specimens, also is open only to researchers, but it does curate paleontology exhibits at the university’s Exhibit Museum of Natural History. The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, is open to the public at an open house one day a year. However, its building has dinosaur specimens on display in the lobby and some hallways. Some science museums with collections are publicly oriented, such as the Kansas State University Insect Zoo and Santa Fe Community College Teaching Zoo. The Insect Zoo gives visitors an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of giant
110
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
cockroaches, beetles, giant walking and prickly sticks, praying mantises, centipedes, scorpions, tarantulas, and other insects. The Teaching Zoo, located in a 10-acre wooded area, has a diverse collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians used in training animal professionals and public education. Excavations, collections, research, and exhibits of fossils and other specimens at two state historical parks in western Nebraska are part of the University of Nebraska State Museum, a natural history museum in Lincoln. The state museum’s satellite Trailside Museum of Natural History at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford features the fossils of two large bull mammoths whose tucks were locked together during an Ice Age battle for dominance over 10,000 years ago. The Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park near Royal has a visitor center with exhibits, a fossil preparatory laboratory, and the Hubbard Rhino Barn, all staffed by the university’s paleontologists and interpreters. The Rhino Barn displays the skeletons of rhinos and other animals who died from volcanic ash about 12 million years ago and are preserved in their death positions at what was a water hole. The plants, trees, and animals are the collections, exhibits, and subjects of research at botanical gardens, arboretums, herbariums, and nature centers. They include such places as the University of California Botanical Garden, Berkeley, with over 13,000 different types of plants from around the world; University of Minnesota’s Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chasta, which has 32 display and specialty gardens, 48 plant collections, more than 5,000 plant species and varieties, and 12½ miles of garden paths and hiking trails; Herbarium of the University of Michigan, containing nearly 1.6 million specimens of vascular plants, algae, bryophytes, fungi, and lichens; and Albion College’s Whitehouse Nature Center, which has an arboretum, herbarium, and interpretive center. Some botanical facilities also have museums with collections, research, and exhibits, such as the Harvard Forest and Fisher Museum of Forestry; Clemson University’s South Carolina Botanical Garden, site of the Bob Campbell Geology Museum; and Antioch College’s Glen Helen Nature Preserve and Trailside Museum. HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY Science and technology museums and centers basically fall into two categories—those that emphasize historical collections and research and those that are contemporary science centers with hands-on exhibits (and sometimes with a small collection). Among those with historical collections and displays are Harvard University’s Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, with over 20,000 objects dating from about 1400 to the present; Monroe Moosnick Medical and Science Museum at Transylvania University; and Oesper Museum of Chemical Apparatus at the University of Cincinnati. The Cranbrook Institute of Science, which started as a natural history museum at the Cranbrook Educational Community and evolved into a hands-on science center, still has some natural history collections and exhibits.
Educational Programming
111
Other science centers with interactive exhibits include the Lawrence Hall of Science, which presents an overview of the major sciences with hands-on exhibits and activities, University of California, Berkeley; UA Science: Flandrau, which began as a planetarium and now features interactive science exhibits at the University of Arizona; Da Vinci Science Center, located at Cedar Crest College, which seeks to develop young people’s curiosity, imagination, and creativity in the sciences; and Idea Place, dedicated to awakening the excitement of learning through interactive exploration of scientific phenomena, Louisiana Tech University. The MIT Museum at Massachusetts Institute of Technology combines historical objects with interactive exhibitry in inviting the public to explore invention, ideas, and innovation. Some planetariums also have astronomical science centers that combine artifacts and hands-on exhibits, such as the Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College, Coca-Cola Space Science Center at Columbus State University, and Fiske Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING Some form of educational programming is offered by almost every academic museum and related facility. Among the most common programs are school programs, guided tours, and gallery talks. Other programs include art or science classes, teacher workshops, films and videos, lectures, science demonstrations, summer camps, field trips, symposia, publications, concerts, travel tours, special events, outreach programs, and online offerings. The Yale Center for British Art has one of the most comprehensive educational programs. It includes school group tours, teacher workshops, children and family programs, adult classes and workshops, lectures by scholars and artists, classic and contemporary films and concerts, and online exhibitions and programs. The museum describes the role of its school and teacher programs as providing “opportunities to engage actively with works of art, stimulate inquiry and discussion, and foster critical looking and thinking skills.” Boston College’s McMullen Museum of Art often seeks o reach beyond traditional art history, providing political, historical, and cultural context. It offers such exhibit-related programming as musical and theatrical performances, films, gallery talks, symposia, lectures, readings, and receptions to stimulate dialogue. At the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California in Berkeley, more than 22,000 teachers participate in the museum’s professional development programs each year. The science center also offers classes, workshops, and science shows for students at the museum and schools. Among the other educational programs are science day camps, home school classes, and science and math classes for preschool children and parents at local libraries and the museum. In addition, Lawrence Hall of Science has science demonstrations, opportunities to interact with animals, and planetarium educational
112
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
shows. One of the most unusual programs at a science center is a bat exhibit and live show at the Cranbrook Institute of Science, which also has a range of other educational programs. The educational program at Arizona State Museum, a state anthropology museum operated by the University of Arizona, is built around one of the world’s most significant collections for the study of cultures in southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It includes guided tours, school group classes, teacher workshops, programs at schools, summer camps, adult archaeological camps, and online exhibitions and programs. In addition to school and tour programs, the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida offers “Tot Time,” for children 2 to 5 and their parents; “Family Day,” with hands-on art activities; “Art for Life,” presentations of artworks and hands-on objects to groups of senior citizens; “MindSight,” an event where art can be experienced through senses other than sight; “Vital Visionaries,” which promotes art interaction among generations; and “Eminent Scholar Lectures,” featuring lectures by distinguished scholars and leaders in their fields. At MIT Museum, the public can explore the research, engineering, and innovations at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a variety of exhibits, programs, and special events. They include such programs as performances, talks, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and such special events as “Soap Box,” a series of salon-style evening conversations with scientists and engineers, and Cambridge Science Festival, a week-long program of performances, talks, lectures, demonstrations, and other science-oriented events. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University serves more than 30,000 students each year in its educational programs on biology, paleontology, geology, ancient civilizations, and social studies. They include classes, an after-school science club, summer camps, and a community outreach program in which docents come to an event with one of three interactive kits, each with over 20 specimens and artifacts that children and adults can touch and explore. The University of Michigan Museum of Art has a newly opened Education Center that features enhanced programming, open storage viewing, object study classrooms, library, and auditorium. It now is possible for visitors to see artworks in storage, students to study objects in object-study classrooms, instructors to have specific works of art viewable for instructional purposes, and present performances, dances, films, lectures, and symposia on an intimate scale in a 185-seat auditorium Harvard University’s Dunbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection and Amherst College’s Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, District of Columbia, have varied educational programs beyond exhibitions. Dunbarton Oaks offers guided tours of its gardens, museum, and historic rooms and has an active publication program. The Folger

Library provides Shakespeare study guides, lesson plans, and teacher kits, and presents theater productions of Shakespeare’s works, concerts of music from the twelfth through eighteenth century by an early music ensemble, poetry readings, and authors reading their latest works. Among the many other educational offerings are guided tours, gallery talks, lectures, symposia, and family days at Harvard Art Museums; school programs, guided tours, public lectures, special events, and outreach activities, Exhibit Museum of Natural History, University of Michigan; interactive tours, private Print Study Room sessions, teen workshops, gallery talks, lectures, and “Community Days” programs, Allen Memorial Museum, Oberlin College; an annual open house, Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley; “Family Days” programs and “ArtVentures,” interactive tours for children, Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College; school group tours and programs and lecture series, Evergreen Museum and Library, Johns Hopkins University; College; public programs accompanying exhibitions, Goldstein Museum of Design, University of Minnesota Twin Cities; online exhibitions and programs, Princeton University Art Museum; and presenting related special events, Ash Lawn-Highland (home of James Madison), College of William and Mary. School and public programs offer another dimension to collections and exhibits at campus museums, galleries, and related facilities, but they can be costly. Some colleges and universities seek to cover these and other expenses by charging an admission or fees for some programs, which can adversely affect attendance. But educational programs have become a popular aspect of academic museums and related facilities, especially where they are of high quality.
Chapter 7
Facilities and Attendance Academic museums, galleries, and related facilities come in all ages, sizes, and designs. Their buildings range from early 1800s to the 2000s, and their sizes run from less than 1,000 to nearly 300,000 square feet. Some occupy only a small portion of a building, while others have as many as five buildings. Outdoor botanical gardens and arboretums vary even more, from 5 to 3,000 acres, and may be located some distance from the campus. The type, size, or location of a museum or related facility can affect attendance, but the principal cause usually is the nature and quality of the collections and/or exhibitions. THE OLD AND THE NEW Art museums are housed in some of the most historic, newest, and eye-catching museum buildings at universities and colleges. Art museums were founded in some of the earliest campus buildings. Not all the buildings have survived, but some have been renovated and still serve as art museums. Other early buildings have been converted to art museums, or shared with other activities. Some of the most spectacular new campus buildings are art museums—designed by many of the world’s leading architects. The new structures often have been made possible by financial support from art patrons and wealthy donors. The 1806 original academy/museum building of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the nation’s oldest art school and museum, was destroyed in an 1845 fire and replaced in 1876 with the Furness-Hewitt Building, which still serves as the museum’s

home; Williams College Museum of Art occupies the 1846 Lawrence Hall; Princeton University Art Museum continues to be located in the 1890 McCormick Hall, which also contains the art/archaeology department and a library; and the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, which has five buildings, is still using the Waterman Building, where its first exhibitions were presented in 1893. Among the early 1900s buildings that have become art museums are a 1904 neoclassical granite building (originally a library), University of Maine Museum of Art; the 1909 Alumni Memorial Hall, home of the University of Michigan Museum of Art (where a $41.9-million expansion added a new wing that more than doubled the museum’s size to 94,000 square feet in 2009); a 1913 Italian Renaissance building (which also has been expanded) at the University of Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery; architect Cass Gilbert’s 1917 Italian Renaissance-style building built for the Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College; and the 1920 College Gothic building (formerly the university’s main dining hall), William Benton Museum of Art, University of Connecticut. Some art museums also are now located in former mansions, such as Wake Forest University’s Reynolda House Museum of American Art, housed in the 1917 home of the founder of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and Florida State University’s John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, which includes the mid-1920s Venetian Gothic mansion of one of the founder of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in its museum complex (where a large Florentine-style building with 21 galleries was added because of the size of the collections). Among the diverse other building conversions have been an 1840 Greek Revival house and a Palladian-style pavilion for The Reeves Center, a research/exhibition center for ceramics and paintings at Washington and Lee University; a library building for the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College; and a six-floor office building for the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, University of North Florida. Some art museums also are located in campus art centers, including the Middlebury College Museum of Art, University of New Hampshire Museum of Art, Mills College Art Museum, and Art Museum at the University of Kentucky. Others, like the Lehigh University Galleries/Museum, have multiple exhibition sites. The Lehigh museum presents 20 exhibitions a year in six galleries, in addition to having garden displays of sculpture at six sites. Some of the leading architects have produced an array of outstanding art museum buildings on collegiate campuses in recent years. Some structures replaced older, smaller, and/or outdated buildings and others were for new museums—usually named for major donors. Among the early highly regarded new structures were a modern building designed by architect Louis I. Kahn at Yale University Art Gallery in 1953, followed by a white travertine marble building by Philip Johnson at Sheldon Museum of Art at University of
The Old and the New
117
Nebraska-Lincoln in 1963, and a 95,000-square-foot Modernist building by Mario Ciampi at the University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in 1971. The 1980s began a major expansion of academic art museums by renowned architects. In 1982, two museums designed by I. M. Pei and his firm opened—the new Indiana University Art Museum, which does not have a single right angle except for some stairs, and the spectacular 61.000-square-foot Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art (which was expanded by 16,000 feet in 2011) overlooking Cayoga Lake at Cornell University. During the same year, the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University also opened a 23,000-square-foot building by Edward Larrabee Barnes. In 1993, one of the most unusual collegiate museum buildings—the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum designed by Frank O. Gehry—opened at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. It is a building with two faces—a brick façade on one side and a striking stainless steel structure with curving and angular brushed steel sheets on the other side. Three new wings totaling 11,000 square-feet were added in 2011. Among the other new art museum facilities in the 1990s were Wellesley College’s Davis Museum and Cultural Center, an innovative 61,000-square-foot, four-story facility with galleries stacked vertically and a central stairway designed by Rafael Moneo, and Vassar College’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Gallery, a 36,000-square-foot complex by Cesar Pelli that incorporates a renovated nineteenth-century art gallery building. They were followed by the 65,000-square-foot Nasher Museum of Art by Rafael Vinoly at Duke University in 2005, and the $30-million Eli and Edyte Broad Art Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid, at Michigan State University in 2012. One of the largest academic art museum complex is the Harvard Art Museums, which actually consists of three art museums—Fogg Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, and Arthur M. Sacker Museum—which cover more than 200,000 square feet. Each of the three museums has its own distinctive history, collections, and exhibits. Harvard Art Museums also includes the Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, which provides professional care in the conservation of artistic and historical works and trains conservators. Perhaps the largest academic museum complex is at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, part of Florida State University, which has collections and exhibits in a 56-room mansion and a museum building, educational/concentration building, learning center, 70,000-volume library, and visitors’ pavilion—as well as two circus museums and a historic theater with daily performances—at its Sarasota site. Among the other large campus art museums are the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, five buildings; Yale University Art Gallery, three buildings; Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin, 155,000 square feet; Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, University of Florida, 112,720 square feet; and Brigham Young
118
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
University Art Museum, 102,000 square feet. The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at St. Francis University has four locations—on the campus and at branches in three cities. Not all academic art museums are as large as these exceptional developments. Most art museums on campuses are less than 10,000 square feet, such as the University Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Massachusetts Amherst, 6,533 square feet; Frank Museum of Art, Otterbein College, 1,800 square feet; Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, 9,500 square feet; DePaul University Art Museum, 4,000 square feet; and Bellarmine Museum, Fairfield University, 450 square feet. Others with more space tend to have more galleries, including the 10,300-square-foot Museum of Art, Washington State University, four galleries; 40,000-square-foot Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, 10 main galleries; 26,000-square-foot Marianne Kisler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University, four galleries; and 43,813-square-foot Spencer Art Museum, University of Kansas, 11 galleries. Various other facilities are located at art museums. They include such things as the Reed Collection Study Center at the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington, Ceramics Research Center at Arizona State University Art Museum, a 40,000-volume library at The Wolfsonian-FIU at Florida International University, and an “ArtLab” program at Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami where art students can work with objects from the collection, conduct research, and curate a thematic exhibition that is displayed for a year. SMALLER, BUT MORE NUMEROUS Academic art galleries tend to be smaller than art museums, and rarely occupy an entire building. But colleges and universities have nearly three times as many collegiate art galleries as art museums. They usually are in the same building where the art department is located. Colleges and universities frequently have more than one gallery, and they often are housed in different buildings around the campus. Sometimes they are operated by different academic departments, or shared by two departments. Unlike art museums, they generally have few if any collections or long-term exhibits. Galleries specialize in changing exhibitions they organize and loan and traveling exhibitions, and usually include student and faculty art as well as works by professional artists. One of the earliest art galleries was the T. W. Wood Gallery and Arts Center, which opened at Vermont College in 1895. Others were the Renaissance Society (which later became a museum) at the University of Chicago, 1917; Skidmore Art Gallery, Skidmore College, 1926; Oregon State University Memorial Union Concourse Gallery, 1927; Western Gallery, Western Washington University, 1938; and University Art Gallery, Indiana State University, and Norman R. Eppink Art Gallery, Emporia State University, 1939.
Smaller, but More Numerous
119
It was not until after the middle of the 1900s that the academic art gallery movement accelerated, with the most foundings taking place in the last quarter of the century. The expansion has continued into the twenty-first century, with the opening of such galleries as Miller Gallery, Carnegie Mellon University, 2000; Leonard Pearlstein Gallery, Drexel University, 2002; and Richmond Center for the Visual Arts Galleries, Western Michigan University, 2007. Some galleries are located in historic structures, such as the an 1820s-30s restored former chapel, site of the Union Grove Gallery at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Among the other galleries in historic buildings are the Mandeville Gallery, housed in the 1879 Nott Memorial Hall, Union College; Davis Gallery at Houghton House, an 1880s Victorian mansion, Hobart and William Smith Colleges; Arthur Ross Gallery, an 1891 former library, University of Pennsylvania; Francis Colburn Gallery, 1896 Williams Hall, University of Vermont; and QCC Art Gallery, a 1920s former golf club house, Queensborough Community College. However, most college and university galleries are in more modern academic buildings where art departments are located or in arts centers. Others are in such places as libraries, student unions, other departments, and campus buildings where space is available. Many art galleries are located at colleges and universities that have art museums, including Harvard University, which has the Harvard Art Museums, consisting of three museums. Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and Graduate School of Design each have two galleries. It is not unusual for an academic institution to have multiple galleries. Arizona State University, which has 39 museums, galleries, and exhibition sites (more than any American college or university) contains a dozen galleries of various types; Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery, 25 galleries; Moore College of Art and Design, 15 galleries and display spaces; Ringling College of Art and Design, 12 galleries and exhibition halls; San Jose State University, 9 galleries; Portland State University, 6 galleries; and Lafayette College, 4 exhibition sites. Academic art galleries range from the 450-square-foot Phillip J Steele Gallery at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design to nearly 10,000 square feet at the SU Art Galleries at Syracuse University. Most galleries tend to be under 2,000 square feet. Those institutions with multiple galleries have more space. Ohio State University, for example, has two major gallery sites, with the Wexner Center for the Arts housing four galleries covering 13,000 square feet. The objectives of art galleries vary considerably. The Jacks Olson Gallery at Northern Illinois University seeks to bring thought-provoking exhibitions to the region and to provide a venue for the latest creative efforts of the students and faculty. Marxhausen Art Gallery at Concordia University in Nebraska wants to promote visual and cultural experiences by presenting diverse and ambitious regional, national, faculty, and student
120
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
exhibitions and programs. At Colorado State University, the objective of Clara Hutton Gallery is to enhance the cultural and intellectual life of the region and foster the creative development of art students by presenting contemporary and historical exhibitions by emerging and established artists, as well as students and faculty. The primary mission of Northern Kentucky University Art Galleries is simply to display student works. Although many art galleries do not have collections, some do and others use works from the college or university permanent collection. The Coe College Art Galleries collection has 465 works by nearly 300 artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, Thomas Hart Benton, Mark Rothko, and Grant Wood. Emerson Gallery at Hamilton College has over 4,000 works in its collection, with strengths in American prints and works on paper, British art of the twentieth century, ancient vases and glass, and pre-Columbian and Native American art. At Sweet Briar College, the Art Galleries display works from the college’s collection of European and American art, Japanese prints, and works by women artists. The SU Art Galleries at Syracuse University cares for and presents exhibitions from the university’s art collection, which contains 45,000 fine art and ethnographic objects. Selections from gallery collections, loan and traveling exhibitions, and exhibitions of artists, students, faculty, and alumni are displayed in galleries. Works of more than 1,000 artists have been exhibited in Gallery 400 at the University of Illinois at Chicago since founded in 1983, over 300 contemporary artists have been shown at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University since opening in 1980, and more than 200 exhibitions on modern and contemporary art in diverse media by established and emerging artists have been displayed at the Queens College Arts Center since established in 1987. Some galleries are teaching galleries, such as the Sidney Mishkin Gallery of Baruch College, which mounts five exhibitions a year that emphasize scholarly, multicultural, and out of the mainstream works. And there are a few galleries that show only student and faculty works. INTERPRETING HISTORY Museums sometimes are described as being of three types—those where the public cannot touch objects on display; museums that encourage interaction; and those that have both collections and “hands-on” exhibits. The first type, which includes art, history, and science collection-oriented museums, galleries, and related facilities, have artistic, historical, and/or scientific objects or specimens that should not be handled. The second category consists of contemporary science and other museums that emphasize interactive and other hands-on exhibit techniques. The third type is a combination of hands-off displays with treasures and hand-on exhibits created for educational purposes. A history museum can be many things—a museum mainly featuring historical artifacts, historic houses that have become museums, and museum-like historic sites. Sometimes a historical museum specializes—collecting and displaying vintage clothing, musical
Interpreting History 121
instruments, scientific equipment, or something else—or becomes a general museum with a variety of collections or a religious or ethnic museum with collections and exhibits of materials relating to a particular sect or ethnic group. The most common type of academic history museum is one devoted to the history of a university, college, community, or region. Among such museums are the Pacific University Museum, which traces the history and cultural influence of the university since founded; Museum of Southwestern Michigan College, with artifacts and exhibits about the history of the college and area; Ralph Foster Museum at the College of the Ozarks, containing objects and exhibits on the history of the Ozarks; Arkansas Tech University Museum, which interprets over 12,000 years of human experience in the Arkansas River Valley of western Arkansas, featuring objects from its 110,000 historical, archaeological, art, and archival objects; and No Man’s Land Museum at Oklahoma Panhandle State University, with period rooms, documents, photographs, and memorabilia of the region from 1880 to the present. Some history museums are outdoor re-creations of earlier days, sometimes with costumes interpreters and hands-on activities. Conner Prairie Interactive Historical Park, operated by Earlham College, is a re-created 1836 rural settlement, with a restored 1823 farmhouse and five re-constructed historical areas—a village/working farm, an Indian camp, hands-on pioneer area, and a center with historical exhibits and a film about early settler life on the Midwest prairie. Other re-creations include the Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum, Lamar University; East Texas Oil Museum, Kilgore College; LSU Rural Life Museum, Louisiana State University; and Daniel Boone Home and Boonesfield Village, Lindenwood University. Among the historic house museums are the William Holmes McGuffey Museum, restored home of the creator of the “McGuffey Readers,” used to educate five generations of Americans from the mid-nineteenth century until 1920, Miami University; Emily Dickinson Museum: the Homestead and The Evergreens, the 1813 homestead and 1856 house where the famous poet lived and wrote her works, Amherst College; Jane Adams Hull-House Museum, where the social reformer co-founded the settlement house in 1889 that helped immigrants and influenced national and international public health and education policies, University of Illinois at Chicago; and President Andrew Johnson Museum and Library, the furnished home and library of the seventeenth president of the United States, Tusculum College. The National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University and the Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village at Baylor University have collections of historic buildings. The 30-acre ranching center features 38 relocated ranch structures from the late 1700s through the early 1902, while the historic village has 15 early buildings that reflect agricultural life of central Texas from 1880 to 1910.
122
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Among the historic sites are Historic New Harmony, a joint museum/preservation program of the University of Southern Indiana and the state museum and historic sites agency, that has approximately 32 historic structures from the 1814-27 period where two utopian settlements were located; the Virginia Military Institute’s Hall of Valor Civil War Museum is located at the site of an 1864 battle where 257 VMI students fought with Confederate troops to defeat Union forces; and the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, which originated in 1900, honors 98 of the 102 figures in the arts, sciences, humanities, government, business, and labor with bronze busts and commemorative plaques in an outdoor colonnade at Bronx Community College. Other museums with historical collections basically present changing exhibitions from their collections. They include such costume, textiles, and fashion materials from such museums as the Historic Costume and Textiles Collections at Ohio State University, Museum of FIT at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and The Design Center at Philadelphia University; musical instruments from the National Music Museum at the University of South Dakota, Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments at University of Michigan, and Yale Collection of Musical Instruments; and agricultural artifacts from Pasto Agricultural Museum at Pennsylvania State University, Blue Ridge Farm Museum at Ferrum College, and State Agricultural Heritage Museum at South Dakota State University.
Religious museum exhibits range from church archives and objects to historical, cultural, and Biblical displays. The largest religious museum is the Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery, which has 25 galleries that feature sacred art from the fourteenth through the nineteenth centuries. The Billy Graham Center Museum at Wheaton College, contains manuscripts and other historical materials relating to missions, evangelism, church history, and general theology. The exhibits at Glencairn Museum at Bryn Athyn College depict religious life through the ages, while the Mennonite Library and Archives at Bethany College focuses on Anabaptist and Mennonite history. The Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion has museums at seminaries in New York City, Cincinnati, and Los Angeles with exhibits relating to Reform Judaism and 4,000 years of the Jewish experience. Among the museums with collections and exhibits of Bibles and/or Biblical archaeology are the Quayle Bible Collections at Baker University, Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology at Pacific School of Religion, and Tandy Archeological Museum at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Two early Spanish missions—the University of San Diego’s 1769 Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala and the 1777 Mission Santa Clara de Asis at Santa Clara University—are historic site museums. Ethnic museums take many forms—history museums, historic houses and sites, art museums and galleries, and library-archive collections. Many have African American historical and/or art collections and exhibits. Amistad Research Center at Tulane
Interpreting History 123
University displays art from its collection of over 15 million documents and other materials that trace African American history and race relations. The National AfroAmerican Museum and Cultural Center at Wilberforce University contains permanent exhibits and changing exhibitions on African American history and culture. Fisk University Galleries consist of two art galleries, and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art emphasizes works by and about women of the African Diaspora. Among the museums honoring African American figures are the George Washington Carver Museum at Tuskegee University, Rosa Parks Library and Museum at Troy University, and Eddie G. Robinson Museum at Grambling State University. The history, culture, and arts of Native Americans are featured at such museums as the Haskell Indian Nations University Cultural Center and Museum, Museum of Contemporary Native Arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and Schingoethe Center for Native American Cultures at Aurora University. Among the other campus ethnic museums are St. Andrew Scottish Heritage Center at St. Andrews Presbyterian College, NorwegianAmerican Historical Association Archives at St. Olaf College, and Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center at Manor Junior College. Photography museums range from the historical to the contemporary and outer space. The UCR/California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside, features nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs, cameras, equipment, and other materials, and the 55,000-square-foot Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona has more archives and works by twentieth-century North American photographers than any museum in the nation. The Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College presents about 20 exhibitions each year from its historic and contemporary collection and elsewhere. Arizona State University has a Space Photography Laboratory in NASA’s Regional Planetary Image Facility that is open to the public, containing images and maps of planets and their satellites taken by solar system exploration spacecraft and maintains photographic and digital data, mission documentaries, and cartographic data. Sports museums celebrate outstanding players, coaches, and teams of the past. The Jonathan B. Lovelace Museum and Hall of Honor at Auburn University has 17 interactive exhibits highlighting each sport at the university, featuring artifacts, trophies, memorabilia, and photographs, as well as a theater with a 16-foot screen showing 25 brief videos about Auburn’s sports history. Texas A&M Sports Museum has a time wall with historic photographs and artifacts; a gallery with photos and memorabilia of great athletes; interactive computer units on outstanding athletes, plays, and memorable moments; and displays about different sports, the band, cheerleaders, and traditions of the university. The Paul W. Bryant Museum at the University of Alabama contains exhibits on the famous
124
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
football coach and the history of football at the university, featuring trophies, uniforms, memorabilia, photographs, and interactive videos. General museum always have historical objects, as well as materials from other fields. The Yager Museum of Art and Culture at Hartwick College has five galleries with permanent exhibits and changing exhibitions in art, archaeology, ethnology, and history. The Frank H. McClung Museum, a general museum of anthropology, archaeology, decorative arts, natural history, and local history at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, has exhibits that interpret ways of life, cultural trends, and technology from prehistoric times to the present. Arkansas State University Museum has 21,000 square feet of exhibits, largely featuring materials from its collection of over 70,000 historic, archaeological, and natural history objects. Many types of collections and exhibits are located at campus libraries. Libraries are homes to some college and university history museums, such as the Louisiana Tech Museum in the Prescott Memorial Library and The Citadel Archives and Museum in Daniel Library at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. Many libraries also are the site of art galleries and museums, including the Aaron Douglas Gallery at Fisk University, Georgetown University Art Collection, and University Gallery at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Other types of museums sometimes are housed in libraries, such as the Orton Geological Museum at Ohio State University, Center for American Music Museum at the University of Pittsburgh, and Valene L. Smith Museum of Anthropology at the California State University, Chico. Libraries also produce exhibitions from their own special collections and archives, including Chapin Library of Rare Books at Williams College, Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University, Firestone Library Galleries at Princeton University, and History of Aviation Collection at the University of Texas at Dallas. Two libraries with some of the most extensive exhibits and programs are in Washington—Dunbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, a leading center of Byzantine, pre-Columbian, and landscape and garden study that is an architectural, botanical, artistic, and historical showcase, operated by Harvard University, and Folger Shakespeare Library, which contains the world’s largest and finest collection of Shakespeare materials and major collections of rare Renaissance books, manuscripts, and artworks, administered by Amherst College. The federally-operated presidential libraries and museums of former Presidents Lyndon Baines Johnson, George Bush, and George W. Bush (under construction) are located at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and Southern Methodist University and the library of Gerald R. Ford at the University of Michigan. The library/museums have the largest collections and some of the most extensive exhibits and attendances on campuses.
Hands-off and Hands-on Exhibits 125
HANDS-OFF AND HANDS-ON EXHIBITS Science museums range from collection-based research museums closed to the public to contemporary science centers without collections. The collections of “hands-off” specimens and objects in laboratories and storage areas are the exhibits at some museums, while others offer “hands-on” interactive experiences. Among those museums that are open only to researchers are the Essig Museum of Entomology at the University of California, Berkeley, which has a collection of 4.5 million insects and terrestrial arthropods; Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, with a collection of over 640,000 amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, and other specimens (has one open house a year); University of Michigan Museum of Anthropology, which has more than 3 million anthropological, archaeological, and ethnographic objects in its collection (but offers online exhibits); and Harvard University Herbaria, with over 5 million dried plant specimens—the most in the world. The University of California Museum of Paleontology at Berkeley, which does not have exhibits, is located in a building with lobby and hallway dinosaur exhibits, tours, and an annual open house. The Museum of Paleontology at the University of Michigan also is closed to the public, but it curates fossil exhibits at the university’s Exhibit Museum of Natural History. Most collection-oriented science museums are open to the public. The Entomology Research Museum, with about 3 million specimens, has a dozen display cases with exotic insects at the University of California, Riverside; the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum has a Hall of Dinosaurs with fossil skeletons and an archaeological hall with mammoth figurines and artifacts; and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University displays specimens from its collection of approximately 21 million extant and fossil invertebrate and vertebrate specimens in the Harvard Museum of Natural History complex. The University of Nebraska State Museum is best known for its Elephant Hall that contains mounted skeletons of 12 elephants, mammoths, mastodons, and ancestral proboscideans, two life-size mounts of African elephants, and other exhibits. Two institutions have specific public-oriented facilities called “zoos”—Kansas State University Insect Zoo, a former dairy barn featuring giant cockroaches, beetles, praying mantises, scorpions, and other insects; and the Santa Fe Community College Teaching Zoo, a diverse outdoor collection of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The University of Wyoming has an Insect Museum, which has a collection of over 250,000 insects and two specialized galleries—on live native and exotic insects and another on tropical plants and insects. Another popular attraction is the 6,400-square-foot walk-through Butterfly Rainforest at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Yale Peabody of Natural History, one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in the world, has over 20 million specimens and objects. It is best known for its Great Hall that contains skeletons from its renowned paleontology collection. The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University, which has one of
126
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
the most comprehensive records of human cultural history in the Western Hemisphere, has more than 6 million objects and features nearly 3,000 objects and photographs in seven exhibits. The Peabody Museum is located adjacent to the Harvard Museum of Natural History, which houses three science museums—Museum of Comparative Zoology, Mineralogical Museum of Harvard University, and Harvard University Herbaria. One of the most popular exhibits in the natural history museum is a display of 3,000 glass flowers. The Ruthven Museums Building at the University of Michigan contains five collectionoriented natural history museums—in the fields of anthropology, paleontology, zoology, dried plant specimens (herbarium), and the broad-based Exhibit Natural History Museum. Some museums feature artifacts at archaeological sites, including the Eastern New Mexico University’s Blackwater Draw Museum at the nation’s first multicultural paleo-Indian archaeological site; University of Alabama Museum of Natural History’s Moundville Archaeological Park & Jones Archaeological Museum, which was occupied by 1,000 Native Americans in A.D. 1000-1450; and University of Memphis’s C. H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa, an A.D. 1000 vibrant and sophisticated Mississippian mound complex. Fossils are the main attraction at two University of Nebraska State Museum excavation sites—Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park and Fort Robinson State Park (site of its Trailside Museum of Natural History). Historic collections also are the core of museums in the geology/mineralogy, medical, and marine sciences fields. The Mineralogical Museum at Harvard University has a collection of over 50,000 minerals, including approximately 1,500 specimens of meteorites.

Nature centers take many forms. Albion College’s Whitehouse Nature Center has a herbarium, arboretum, and interpretive center at a 135-acre site with six walking trails, a tall grass prairie, habitat area with ponds, and 35 acres of farm and research projects. Among the others are Antioch College’s Glen Helen Nature Preserve, which consists of 1,000 acres of woods, waterways, prairies, fields, and a natural history museum; Pennsylvania State University’s Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, containing 7,000 acres, herb and flower gardens, 72-acre lake, raptor center, hands-on discovery room, classrooms, trails, boardwalks over wetlands, and amphitheater with nature shows; and Brigham Young University’s Lytle Ranch Preserve, consisting of 600 acres of geological formations and ecosystems in an area of great plant and animal diversity. An increasing number of natural history and other museums are offering hands-on exhibits and activities. The University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History now has an interactive laboratory for science-based explorations by visitors. Among the museums with Discovery Rooms with hands-on exhibits of specimens and/or artifacts are the Bell Museum of Natural History at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Joseph Moore Museum at Earlham College, North Museum of Natural History and Science at Franklin and Marshall College, Mayborn Museum Complex at Baylor University, and the newly founded Gateway Science Center at California State University, Chico. Contemporary science centers often do not have collections, but always have some form of hands-on exhibitry—some permanent and others temporary. The oldest and largest university hands-on science center is the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley, a 134,000-square-foot facility that features interactive exhibits and programs, serves as a resource center for preschool through high school science and mathematics education, and is a major developer of innovative educational materials and programs. Other hands-on science centers include UA Science: Flandrau, which has 10,000 square feet of exhibits around a planetarium, University of Arizona; Science Discovery Center of Oneonta, with about 80 exhibits that deal with such subjects as matter properties, forces, motion, mechanisms, fluids, sound, vibration, waves, electricity, magnetisms, optics, and light, State University of New York at Oneonta; East Kentucky Science Center, which has hands-on science learning for students, professional development for teachers, and outreach van and other programs, Big Sandy Community and Technical College; Da Vinci Science Center, with such hands-on exhibits as a touch tank, a “safety car” that tests driver skills, applying forces to make tasks easier, riding a life-sized gyroscope to simulate life in space, and activating a musical sound and monitor image when passing a camera with sensors, at Cedar Crest College, Idea Place, which seeks to awake the excitement of
Campus and Public Response 131
learning through interactive exploration of scientific phenomena, Louisiana Tech University; and University of Arkansas Discovery Zone, which features traveling exhibition about science. Some science centers cover other fields besides science. The Kalamazoo Valley Museum at Kalamazoo Valley Community College is a museum of science, technology, and history that contains hands-on science exhibits, a planetarium, and a Challenger Learning Center. The Cranbook Institute of Science at the Cranbook Educational Community also has natural history collections and exhibits, planetarium, and observatory. Planetariums and observatories generally are not known for their exhibits, but some do have astronomical and science exhibits—often of an interactive nature and sometimes reflected in their names. The Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University has a 3,000-square foot exhibit hall and a gallery with astronomical paintings. Among the planetariums with exhibits and “science center” attached to their names are the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Fiske Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder; Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center at the University of Nevada, Reno; Coca-Cola Space Science Center at Columbus State University; and Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College. A few observatories have exhibits in their buildings, but visitors centers are more common. The W. M. Keck Observatory operated by the California Association for Research in Astronomy has a gallery with exhibits on the Mauna Kea summit in Hawaii. Observatories with visitor centers include the California Institute of Technology’s Palomar Observatory on Palomar Mountain in California, University of Texas at Austin’s McDonald Observatory in the Davis Mountains, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics’s Fred Lawrence Whipple on Mount Hopkins in Arizona, and Cornell University’s Areciro Observatory in Puerto Rico. The Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center and Museum serves as the visitor center and museum for university and other observatories on the Arizona peak. Among the off-site exhibit sites are the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter, which has a remote public program for Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona; UW Space Place, an astronomical and science exhibit site in a shopping center for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Astronomy/Washburn Observatory; and University of Hawaii’s Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii in Hilo with information about university and other observatories on the nearby Mauna Lea summit. CAMPUS AND PUBLIC RESPONSE Nearly all college and university museums, galleries, and related facilities are open to the academic community and the general public. But they vary greatly in attendance. The
132
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
larger museums with extensive collections and/or exhibits in the major fields usually have much greater attendances than the smaller facilities with limited offerings. Some museums, galleries, and related facilities actively seek to increase the number of visitors as an indication of their quality and popularity, while others are content merely to have a place to keep their collections, teach, and/or conduct research. Most places are free, but an increasing number of museums and other institutions are relying upon admission income to help cover costs in difficult economic times. Attendances range from 150 visitors per year to over 600,000. More than 75 campus museums, galleries, and related facilities have attendances exceeding 100,000, with the greatest number in the art field, followed by arboretums, botanical gardens, and other science-based fields. Among the art museums and galleries with the greatest annual attendances are John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Florida State University, 360,000; Brigham Young University Museum of Art, 327,000; Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts, Stanford University, 250,000; Memorial Art Gallery, University of Rochester, 245,000; and University of Michigan Art Museum and University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 200,000.

They include such places as the Mississippi Baptist Historical Collection, Mississippi College, 150; Anthropology Museum, University of San Diego, 200; Macaulay Museum of Dental History, Medical University of South Carolina, 250; Intermountain Herbarium, Utah State University, 300; Skinner Museum, Mount Holyoke College, 350; Quayle Bible Collection, Baker University, 450; Davis Art Gallery, Stephens College, 500; Gerald R. Ford Library, University of Michigan, 750; and Shippensburg University Fashion Archives and Museum, 900. Although most academic museums, galleries, and related facilities are free, a growing number of institutions charge an admission fee—either a fixed fee or a suggested donation. Admission charges are most frequently found at art museums, and least likely at art galleries and small museums. They usually range from $3 to $10 for adults and less
134
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
for seniors and children. The most common suggested donation is $5. Among the art museums with the highest fees are the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Florida State University, beginning at $25 for adults; Indian Arts Research Center, School for Advanced Research, $15; and Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami; Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design; Ogden Museum of Southern Art, University of New Orleans, and Danforth Museum of Art, Framingham State College, $10; Harvard Art Museums and Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo State College, $9; Harwood Museum of Art of the University of New Mexico, $8; and Utah Museum of fine Arts, University of Utah; Cranbrook Art Museum, Cranbrook Educational Community; Blanton Museum of Art, University of Texas at Austin; and University of California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive; $7. Two historic house tours have the highest admission fees among other museums and facilities—Meadow Brook Hall at Oakland University and Glensheen Historic Estate at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Among the other more costly admissions are Morris Arboretum, University of Pennsylvania, $14; Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, Earlham College, $12; Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University; Alaska Museum of the North; Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont, University of Mary Washington; Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, West Texas A&M University; and Skirball Cultural Center Museum, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, $10; Botanical Museum of Harvard University, University of California Botanical Garden, and Waikiki Aquarium, University of Hawaii, $9; Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Garden, $8; and American West Heritage Center, Utah State University, and George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Texas A&M University, $7.

Some museums simply state the admission is a donation of a certain amount, such as
Campus and Public Response 135
Schingoethe Center for Native American Cultures, Aurora University, $3 donation, and North Dakota Museum of Art, University of North Dakota, $5 donation. In general, academic admission fees are less than those of other nonprofit museums and facilities because of institutional and/or other support. They also have another purpose—to supplement classroom instruction and serve as a repository for collections and site for research. In addition, college and university museums, galleries, and related facilities play an important cultural role on the campus and in the community and region.
Chapter 8
Closures and Openings The number of academic museums, galleries, and related facilities keeps changing as some places are closed and others are opened. The principal reason for closures is the lack of institutional financial support, usually because of economic conditions. Other reasons can be the lack of departmental or faculty interest, and/or adequate space, collections, or qualified personnel. The main reasons academic museums and related facilities are their relationship to instruction and/or research; the administration or department feels it is important to have such an educational and cultural facility; and/or a major donor or state legislature is prepared to fund a museum, gallery, or related facility. At least 50 museums, galleries, and related facilities have been closed in the last quarter of a century. Some have not closed, but no longer are academic facilities because their operations have been transferred to other organizations, as occurred when Tulane University gave The Woman’s Exchange ownership of two historic houses—the 1831 Hermann Grima House and 1857 Gallier House—in New Orleans; operation of the Henry Ford Estate in Dearborn, Michigan, was transferred from the University of MichiganDearborn to the independent Edsel and Eleanor Ford House; the Watson-Curtze Mansion at Gannon College became part of Erie County Historical Society in Erie, Pennsylvania; and the University of California, Berkeley, gave up management of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and its Discovery Center in Livermore, California, to an
138
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
independent contractor. One academic museum—the University of North Dakota’s art museum—become the independent North Dakota Museum of Art. FINANCES AND OTHER REASONS Most academic museums, galleries, and related facilities close for financial reasons, and sometimes for other reasons. Two galleries—the Johnson Gallery at Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma, and Teikyo Westmar Art Gallery at Teikyo Westmar University in Le Mars, Iowa—closed when their universities shut down. Among the museums closed because of funding cutbacks were the Horner Museum at Oregon State University, Museum of Anthropology, University of Kentucky; Chester H. Wilson Geology Museum, Mott College; Fellow-Reeve Museum of History and Science, Friends University; DNA EpiCenter, Connecticut College; University of Arkansas Museum; and Diablo Valley College Museum and Planetarium.. Other closures have included such facilities as the Museum of Natural History at Princeton University; Ryther Printing Museum, University of Kansas; School of Dental Medicine Museum, University of Connecticut Health Center, and American Work Horse Museum, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Sometimes museums and other facilities are closed because the space is needed for other purposes, as occurred with the Appalachian Cultural Museum at Appalachian State University; Wallis Museum, Connors State College; and Brackbill Planetarium, Eastern Mennonite University. A number of planetariums also have closed because of the cost of operation or lack of public interest, such as Villanova Planetarium, Richman College Planetarium, University of Arkansas at Little Rock Planetarium, and The Pensacola State College Planetarium and Space Theatre, Pensacola State College. Several museums have reopened because of public support after being closed for financial reasons. The University of Wyoming Geological Museum was closed in 2009 because of state funding difficulties, but reopened later that year after a retired professor of geology and his wife made a $570,000 gift that was matched by the state legislature and followed by other contributions. At the Humboldt State University Natural History Museum, donations and grants made it possible to reopen the museum in 2010 after being closed in mid-2009 because of the state’s financial problems. The lack of adequate funding also has resulted in cutbacks at a number of colleges and universities. The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology was forced to drop 18 research specialist positions in archaeological and anthropological research in the Mediterranean world, the Middle East, and the Americas, and the Museum Applied Science Center for Archaeology was closed for financial reasons. The Smith College Museum of Art began charging admission for the first time to maintain its current public hours. The Lentz Center for Asian Culture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Many New Facilities 139
no longer has regular hours for occasional Asian exhibitions. In the planetarium field, Ohio State University and Washington State University have discontinued regular public programs for financial reasons. MANY NEW FACILITIES Despite the difficult economic times and museum and other closings, new facilities continue to be established—largely with the assistance of private funding. The biggest increase has been in art museums and galleries. Among the many new art facilities since 2000 have been the St. Louis University Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Georgia College and State University; Loyola University Museum of Art, Loyola University Chicago; Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College; William Weston Clarke Emison Museum of Art, DePauw University; Phillips Museum of Art, Franklin and Marshall College; CU Art Museum, University of Colorado at Boulder; and Devos Art Museum, Northern Michigan University. At the University of Texas at Austin, the 155,000-square-foot Blanton Museum of Art replaced the long-standing Archer M. Huntington Gallery in 2000 with the help of a $12-million grant from the Houston Endowment. The 2003 Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts, which opened in 2003 at Auburn University, was spurred by a $3-million contribution from a businessman. The 41,000-square-foot Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened at Johnson County Community College in 2007 as one of the largest art museums in a community college, is named for Jerry and Margaret Nerman, art collectors and major donors. The University of Michigan Museum of Art added a 53,000-square-foot wing costing $41.9 million to its historic 41,000-square-foot building in 2009 with major support from a family. The newest art museums are the $30-million Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum with 40,000 square feet at Michigan State University and The Art Museum at West Virginia University, which will occupy the former alumni center and a new wing at the art center—both opening in 2012. Among the many new art galleries are the St. Joseph College Art Gallery, 2001; Richard F. Peeler Art Center Galleries, DePauw University, 2002; Islander Art Gallery, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, 2005; George Segal Gallery, Montclair State University, 2006; Richmond Center for the Visual Arts Galleries, Western Michigan University, 2007; Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas Christian University, 2008; and Bryant Arts Center Gallery, Denison University, 2009. Among the diverse new history-oriented museums are the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center, Chadron State College, and Jack Nicklaus Museum, Ohio State University, 2002; Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and The Evergreens, Amherst College, and Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, University of Kansas, 2003; Old Governor’s Mansion, Georgia College and State University, and University Museum and
140
AMERICA’S COLLEGE MUSEUMS
Cultural Center, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, 2005; Crisp Museum, Southeast Missouri State University, 2007; and Avenir Museum of Design and Merchandising, Colorado State University, 2008. New science facilities since the turn of the century include the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, University of Oklahoma, and Oesper Museum of Chemical Apparatus, University of Cincinnati, 2000; Weis Earth Science Museum, University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, and Emory University Planetarium and Observatory, 2002; Oscar E. Monnig Meteorite Gallery, Texas Christian University, and Da Vinci Science Center, Cedar Crest College, 2003; University of Washington Botanic Gardens, 2005; Museum of Biodiversity, University of Notre Dame, and cImiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Hilo, 2006; University of Arkansas Discovery Zone, 2007; and Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum, Baylor University, 2010. GREATER COST CONTROL Museums, galleries, and related facilities continue to be closed and opened at colleges and universities, with the total number increasing each year, despite lagging economic conditions. This testifies to the importance of such art, history, and science facilities in teaching, research, and the cultural life on the campus, and their ability to find the necessary institutional resources and support funds from government, foundation, and private sources. What does the future hold? That is the question facing all academic museums, galleries, and related facilities. As funding becomes more difficult, greater cost control will became necessary. The administrators and department heads of colleges and universities—as well as state legislatures, local officials, and donors—already are seeking to get more out of less. Some closings and cutbacks already have occurred because of budget problems—and more are likely until the economy rebounds. For the larger and more popular museums, galleries, libraries, planetariums, observatories, botanic gardens, arboretums, and other facilities, this could mean such cost-cutting measures as personnel reductions, less staff travel, fewer additions to collections, more limited research, fewer or less expensive exhibitions and programs, reduced open hours, and/or the imposition or increases in admission fees. The smaller—and usually less attended museums and other facilities—it could mean many of the same cutbacks—as well as closure. All will be called upon to do a better job of justifying their existence and controlling costs. It will be more difficult to maintain or improve the quality of a museum, gallery, or related facility during economic hard times, as well as finding the funds to launch new institutions.

VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY Cyrus H. McCormick Memorial Museum Steele’s Tavern, Virginia The Cyrus H. McCormick Memorial Museum, which honors the inventor of the first successful mechanical reaper that revolutionized grain harvesting, is located on McCormick’s farm in Steeles Tavern, Virginia, where he first demonstrated the reaper n 1831. The reaper harvested grain five times faster with much less effort than with a scythe or sickle, and led to the founding of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, which later became the International Harvester Company. The 632-acre farm was given to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (known as Virginia Tech) by the McCormick family in 1954 and now serves primarily as an agricultural research station. The historic site still has eight of its original nine buildings, including the manor house, carriage house, grist mill, blacksmith shop, slave quarters, smoke house, school room, and housekeeper’s quarters. The museum tells the story of the invention of the reaper and the history of grain harvesting by machines. The workshop-grist mill area of the farm has been designated a National Historic Landmark. Nearly 8,000 visit the museum each year. Cyrus H. McCormick Memorial Museum, Virginia Tech, 128 McCormick Farm Circle, PO Box 100, Steeles Tavern, VA 24476-0100. Phone: 540/377-2255.

Archaeology, Anthropology & Ethnology Museums BELOIT COLLEGE Logan Museum of Anthropology Beloit, Wisconsin The Logan Museum of Anthropology at Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin, is a teaching museum that uses hands-on interdisciplinary and international approaches to anthropological learning. The museum was founded in 1894 with Frank G. Logan’s gift of Native American materials collected by Horatio N. Rust, who served as an Indian agent in California. The contribution of nearly 3,000 artifacts was added to the college’s collection, which now contains approximately 15,000 ethnographic and over 200,000 archaeological objects from 480 cultural groups and 123 countries. Among the museum’s present collection’s strengths are European and North African Paleolithic and Neolithic artifacts and material culture of pre-Columbian and historic North and South American Indians. It also has rare aboriginal materials from Japan, Indonesia, Polynesia, Taiwan, and North Africa, and fragments of pottery and stone tools from the 20 Native American conical, linear, and animal effigy mounds on the campus grounds. The mounds are similar to some 3,000 found throughout southern Wisconsin. It is believed they were burial sites or spiritual centers built by Native Americans of the Late Woodland people between A.D. 400 and 1200. The Logan Museum has an annual attendance of 5,000.

BOWDOIN COLLEGE Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum Brunswick, Maine The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, is named for two Arctic explorers and Bowdoin graduates who collected anthropological, historic, and natural history materials pertaining to the Inuit cultures of Labrador and Greenland in their explorations of the Arctic region at the turn of the twentieth century. Robert E. Peary, who was credited with being the first person to reach the North Pole in 1909, made numerous explorations of the Arctic region between 1886 and 1909. Donald B. MacMillan, who served briefly as a member of Peary’s North Pole team in 1908, made over 30 expeditions to the Arctic during his 46-year career as a teacher, explorer, and researcher. He also took films and thousands of photographs of Arctic scenes and put together a dictionary of the Inuktikut language. The Bowdoin museum, founded in 1967, is built largely around material donated by MacMillan, supplemented by additional Inuit artifacts and contemporary art and crafts. It

UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS C. H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa Memphis, Tennessee A vibrant and sophisticated Mississippian mound complex was developed in the Memphis, Tennessee area around A.D.1500 after several earlier attempts over 500 years failed to survive. The archaeological site-known as Chucalissa-was discovered in 1938 by Civilian Conservation Corps workers while preparing for a new park. The University of Tennessee initially began excavations in 1940, but World War II halted the work. It was resumed in 1955, and first public museum-which later became the C. H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa-opened in 1956. In 1962, the University of Memphis assumed administrative responsibility for Chucalissa and the site quickly became a central focus of the university’s archaeology program in the Department of Anthropology. Since then, the site has been separated from the park, partly re-created, and developed as a laboratory for training archaeologists and a place to interpret archaeology to the public. It also has become a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places The Nash Museum uses displays, dioramas, and artifacts to tell the history of Chucalissa and interpret the prehistory of the Mid-South and contemporary Southeastern Indian cultures. The site also has a reconstructed village that includes several family dwellings, a shaman’s hut, and a chief’s temple atop a mound, and visitors can walk through an archaeologist’s trench. The annual attendance is 10,000.

BARTON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE Shafer Gallery
BARD COLLEGE Gallery at the BGC New York, New York The Gallery at the BGC, located at Bard College’s Graduate Center in New York City, really consists of two galleries-the Main and Focus galleries. The galleries, which began in 1993, are part of the Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture Program. They seek to convey the meanings of objects from the most exquisite aesthetic nternationally to the ordinary things of everyday life. The changing exhibitions examine objects in a broad cultural context from different curatorial points of view. The Main Gallery, housed in a townhouse on Manhattan’s upper west side, presents three exhibitions annually that consider issues and ideas that are largely outside the established canons of art history-often organized in collaboration with New York City museums. The Focus Gallery, opened more recently, examines new ways of exhibiting objects and developing an exhibition practice that may enrich scholarly

discourse. Tours are available for adults and groups. Annual gallery attendance is 3,000.

BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY Rose Art Museum Waltham, Massachusetts The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, apparently has survived a 2009 university decision to close the highly regarded museum and sell its prized collection to raise funds to meet the university’s financial needs. The museum, founded in 1961 and named for benefactors Edward and Bertha Rose, has the leading collection of modern and contemporary art in New England, including works by Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, William de Kooning, Morris Louis, and James Rosenquist, and others. It also was the first to give such contemporary artists as Frank Stella, Kiki Smith, Nam June Paik, and Dana Schulz their first museum exhibitions. After an outpouring of protests and legal actions, the museum closing decision has been reversted by the university’s administration and trustees. The Rose Art Museum has over 8,000 contemporary artworks in its collection and around 13,000 square feet of exhibition space. An estimate in the museum closing debate placed the value of the collection at $350 million to $400 million. From nine to 12 exhibitions, mostly from the collection of modern and contemporary art, are presented each year by the museum. One of the museum’s galleries is the Electronic Media Gallery, which is dedicated to the exploration of media art in all forms, including internet, film,

DREXEL UNIVERSITY Anthony J. Drexel Picture Gallery Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The Anthony J. Drexel Picture Gallery at Drexel University in Philadelphia features artworks collected by the founder of the university at the turn of the twentieth century. Drexel believed that education should be both practical and cultural, and began purchasing art for what originally was called the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry, and displaying it in a museum on the first floor of the Main Building in 1892. In 1902, when the Drexel Collection received a substantial gift of nineteenth-century paintings by artists from the Barbizon School and Dusseldorf Academy, the collection was moved to the Picture Gallery on the third floor, and later historically restored to its original state. Other works now also are exhibited in the Peck Center Gallery in the alumni center (see separate listing). Anthony J.

build a Florentine-style museum with 21 galleries, which they called the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. When John Ringling died in 1936, he bequeathed the mansion and estate to the people of the state of Florida. For nearly 10 years after Ringling’s death, the art museum was operated irregularly and without professional maintenance by the government. In 2000, the state of Florida transferred the management of the property to Florida State University and then provided $49.5 million for new buildings with the provision that the Ringling board raise $50 million in endowment funds within five years. By 2007, the funds were raised and all the existing buildings were restored and four new structures were added, including a learning center, visitors’ pavilion, education/conservation building, and a new wing for the museum. The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art now is one of the largest university museum complexes in the nation. In addition to the museum’s facilities, it includes the 56-room mansion filled with art and original furnishings, which the Ringlings called Ca d’Zan; two circus museums with extensive circus artifacts and memorabilia (see separate listing); the historic Asolo Theater, which has daily performances; a 70,00-volume library; and three gardens and grounds that are treated as works of art.

They saw the museum as a laboratory for fine arts with original works of the highest quality that could be used in training professions in

and Islamic art, and has one of the world’s most important collections of ancient Chinese jades, rare groups of Persian and Indian miniatures, Japanese prints and ceramics, Roman portrait sculpture, and Greek vases.
The Fogg Art Museum specializes in the art of Europe and North America in all media from the Middle Ages to the present. It has one of the finest collections of paintings, particularly in early Italian Renaissance, nineteenth-century French and British works, and American paintings. It includes important works by such artists as Degas, Picasso, Renoir, Monet, C‚zanne, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Poussin, Whistler, Copley, Kandinsky, Rothko, Pollock, and Stella.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY Busch-Reisinger Museum Cambridge, Massachusetts The Busch-Reisinger Museum is the only museum in North America devoted to the arts of the German-speaking countries of central and northern Europe in all media and from all periods. It was founded in 1903 as the Germanic Museum through the efforts of Kuno Francke, a professor of German literature at Harvard, and operated as a branch of the Germanic Language Department. It became part of the Harvard Art Museum in 1930, was renamed the Busch-Reisinger Museum in 1950 in honor of the St. Louis families who largely provided its support, and moved to its present location in 1991. The museum’s holdings include more than 40,000 works of art that range from the seventh century to the present. The museum developed one of the leading collections of modern art from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and related cultures in the mid-twentieth century. Today, especially important holdings include late nineteenth-century paintings, art of the Austrian secession, German expressionism, 1920s abstraction, and material relating to the Bauhaus. The museum also has such other works as late medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque sculpture; sixteenth-century paintings; eighteenth-century porcelain; modern paintings; and postwar and contemporary art from German-speaking Europe. Thomas Lentz, Director 617-495-2378
The Sackler Museum also has a Teaching Museum, with installations that accompany undergraduate courses in the Department of History of Art and Architecture. The museum, located at 485 Broadway, also mounted an exhibition of works from all three Harvard art museums after the building at 312 Quincy Street, housing the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger museums, was closed in 2008 for major renovation. It was the first time that artworks from the three museums have been shown together. Thomas Lentz, Director 617-495-2378

PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia is the oldest art school and museum in the nation. The academy was founded in 1805 by painter/scientist Charles Wilson Peale, sculptor William Rush, and other artists and business leaders, and the museum opened in 1807. The museum had its first exhibition in 1811, consisting of over 500 paintings and statuary. The 1806 original academy/museum building was destroyed in an 1845 fire and replaced in 1876 with the Furness-Hewitt Building, now a National Historic Landmark. It still serves as the museum’s home. A special exhibition space, called the Fisher Brooks Gallery, also is located in an adjacent building-the Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building-which was acquired, renovated, and converted into an academy building in 2006. The museum has been collecting American art since its founding in 1805, and now has a permanent collection that includes one of the leading collections of American paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. The works range from such colonial artists as Charles Wilson Peale, Robert Feke, John Singleton Copley, Benjamin West, and Gilbert Stuart to later artists like Thomas Eakins, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Robert Motherwell, and Richard Diebenkorn. The museum’s exhibitions range from historical to contemporary art, often from its collection, as well as works by contemporary regional artists and an annual display of art by American students. The annual attendance is nearly 38,000. Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum, Furness-Hewitt Bldg., 128 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19102-1424. Phones: 215/972-7600 and 215/972-7642.

Stanford, California The Stanford University Museum of Art was founded in Palo Alto, California, in 1891 by railroad magnate Leland Stanford and his wife, Jane, in memory of their late son, Leland Stanford, Jr. The museum opened in 1894, but more than two-thirds of the building and the museum collection were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. The museum continued to operate but received little attention and was eventually was closed in 1945. Professor Lorenz Eitner, new chairman of the Art Department, worked to reopen the museum in 1963, and in 1985 the B. Gerald Cantor Rodin Sculpture Garden was added through the efforts of Professor Albert Elsen. But the 1989 earthquake heavily damaged the museum and it was closed again. It was restored, renamed, and reopened in 1999 following further funding by broker G. Gerald Cantor and his wife, Iris, through their foundation. The museum was renamed the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University (also known as the Cantor Art Center) in their honor. The museum has a collection that includes works from America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, as well such categories as sculpture, modern and contemporary art; works on paper, Native American, and Stanford family objects. It is best known for its outdoor sculpture collection that includes figurative and abstract works in a variety of media by artists from the 19th century to the present.

Most of Rodin’s works are displayed inside the museum, but 20 of his bronzes are outside in the B. Gerald Cantor Rodin Sculpture Garden, including The Gates of Hell. Rodin’s The Burghers of Calais sculpture is on campus. Stanford also has a Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden, which contains 40 wood and stone carvings of people, animals, and magical beings that illustrate creation stories and cultural traditions-created by 10 artists from the inland Sepik River area.

Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. The museum building was being constructed adjacent to the company’s international headquarters in the Westwood area to house his extensive collections of Old Masters paintings and drawings, works on paper by Honor‚ Daumier and his contemporaries, and other artworks when Dr. Hammer died three weeks after the opening. The building never was completed, but continued to operate. In 1995, a partnership was finalized with neighboring UCLA and the university assumed responsibility for the museum’s management and operations. The university’s Wright Art Gallery and Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts were moved to the Hammer building, and the new director also was given responsibility for its Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden (see separate listings). Today, the Hammer Museum, known for one of the premier collections of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art, has four collections-Armand Hammer Collection, Hammer Daumier Collection, Hammer Contemporary Collection, and Hammer Video Library Collection. The Grunwald Center and Murphy Sculpture Garden also have their own collections. The Hammer Museum presents contemporary and historical works in all media of the visual arts in its exhibitions, which are accompanied by extensive public programs. It seeks to interpret art of the past and present, promote cultural understanding, and introduce the work of underrepresented artists. The annual attendance is 150,000.

UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON Blaffer Art Museum
Athens, Georgia
Houston, Texas
The Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens is both the university’s art museum and the official art museum of the state of Georgia. It opened in the basement of an old library on the university’s North Campus in 1948 and now occupies a 52,000 square-foot contemporary building in the Performing and Visual Arts Complex on the East Campus. As the same time, the museum’s permanent collection has grown from the core of 100 paintings donated in 1945 by founder Alfred Heber Holbrook, a retired lawyer and art collector who became the first director. The museum now has a collection of more than 8,000 objects.
The Sarah Campbell Blaffer Gallery, founded in 1973 at the University of Houston in Texas, has become the Blaffer Art Museum as its space, collection, exhibitions, and programs have increased over the years. During her lifetime, Blaffer made available major artworks from her extensive collection dating from the fifteenth century to the present. In 1979, the collection was purchased by the Blaffer Foundation, which is unrelated to the university and the gallery. Investment income from the sale proceeds now provides a portion of the budget for the non-collecting gallery/museum.
The museum’s collection includes American paintings, primarily nineteenth- to twentieth-century works; American, European, and Asian drawings and prints; Kress Study Collection of Italian Renaissance paintings; contemporary American photographs; and a growing collection of Southern decorative arts and Asian art. Much of the collection of American paintings was donated by Holbrook in memory of his wife, Eva Underhill Holbrook. It includes works by such artists as Frank Weston Benson, William Merritt Chase, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Jacob Lawrence, and Theodore Robinson. The museum, which closed in 2009 and reopened in expanded quarters in 2011, has an annual attendance of 100,000. Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, 90 Carlton St., Athens, GA 30602-6719.

In l976, it opened as the university’s art museum in 20,000 square feet in the new Singletary Center for the Arts. It now has a permanent collection of over 4,000 objects and mounts exhibits from the collection and a diverse schedule of temporary exhibitions of artists’ works and traveling exhibitions.

For more than 30 years, Art Professor Vincent Hartgen collected works of art by Maine and other artists for the University of Maine’s art collection in Orono. In 1988, the collection that began in 1946 became part of the university’s new Museum of Art, which was housed in the 1904 neo-classical granite building originally used for the library. The museum was relocated to downtown Bangor in 2002 where it took on a new role as a regional fine arts center. It now occupies the first floor of Norumbega Hall, a historic structure that formerly housed a department store.

It opened on a bluff on the east side of the Mississippi River in 1993 and was expanded with three new wings in 2011. A second university art museum also
was funded by and named for Weisman at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, in 1992 (see separate listing).

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-KEARNEY Museum of Nebraska Art Kearney, Nebraska Nebraska’s artistic heritage is celebrated at the Museum of Nebraska Art Museum at the University of Nebraska-Kearney. The dream of such a showcase began in 1976 with the Nebraska Art Collection board of directors and a collection of fewer than 30 pieces of art. Three years later, the Nebraska legislature passed a bill recognizing the fledgling collection as the official collection of the state. A former post office building in Kearney was purchased and renovated to serve as the museum’s first home in 1986. After successfully fulfilling the terms of a $1 million challenge grant from the Peter Kiewitt Foundation, the museum opened in 1993 in its present restored Renaissance Revival building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since that startup period, the museum has grown into an important regional art center featuring the permanent collection, which now numbers more than 5,000 artworks that reflects the history and culture of the state. The collection includes works from artist-explorers like George Catlin and the early twentieth-century artist Robert Henri, as well as later works such as Oregon Trail illustrations by Thomas Hart Benton and wildlife art by John James Audubon.

The Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the only museum in the nation where the donor’s remains lie within the building that his generosity made possible. William Hayes Ackland, a Tennesseean, left a will that provided for the establishment of an art museum at a major university in the South, but didn’t specify which university. After years of litigation over the site, the courts awarded the museum funds to the University of North Carolina. The museum opened in 1958 with Ackland’s remains entombed in a marble sarcophagus overlaid with his relining bronze figure. The museum has a permanent collection of more than 15,000 works of art that include European and American paintings, drawings, and sculpture from ancient times to the twentieth century; fifteenth- to twentieth-century works on paper; Asian art; Indian miniatures and sculpture; African art; North Carolina folk art; photographs; and other works. The museum library also has a 39,000-volume library and 154,000 slides available through the university art department.

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art Norman, Oklahoma An art museum at the University of Oklahoma in Norman was the dream of Professor Oscar Jacobson after he became director of the School of Art in 1915. In the years that followed, he collected works of art and by 1936 he had assembled a collection of 2,500 and opened a museum after receiving a gift of 750 East Asian objects from Lew Wentz and Gordon Matzene. In the years that followed, the collection was expanded and Jacobson’s vision of a permanent facility finally was achieved in 1971 when Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jones of Oklahoma City donated a fine arts building in memory of their son, Fred Jones, Jr., who was killed in an airplane crash during his senior year at the university and for whom the museum was named. In 2005, a new wing named in honor of Mary and Howard Lester of San Francisco added more than 34,000 square feet to the original 27,000-square-foot building. The museum also continued to receive gifts of artworks, including the Weitzehoffer Collection of 33 works of French Impressionists like Degas, Gauguin, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Van Gogh, and Vuillard and approximately 3,300 objects from the Adkins Foundation that features such American artists as Maynard Dixon, Worthington Whittridge, Alfred Jacob Miller, Victor Higgins, Charles M. Russell, Nicolai Fechin, John Marin, William R. Leigh, and Joseph Henry Sharp. The collection now consists of more than 12,300 works with strengths in French Impressionism, twentiety-century American painting and

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN Blanton Museum of Art Austin, Texas The Archer M. Huntington Gallery, founded at the University of Texas at Austin in 1963, became the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art in 2000. The original gallery resulted from the interest and support of philanthropist Arthur M. Huntington, who donated approximately 4,300 acres of land in 1927 for the use and benefit of a museum. The land was sold for $145,000, invested, and later provided $600,000 for an Art Building that included a gallery in Huntington’s name. The fund continued to grow, reaching a value of $24.6 million by 2000. After the university launched a fundraising drive for a new museum building in 1996, the Houston Endowment, Inc., made one of the lead gifts. The $12 million contribution was in honor of its chairman, Jack S. Blanton, and five other parties. In 2000, the university renamed the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery for Blanton in recognition of his long-standing commitment to the arts at the university. The 155,000-square-foot Blanton Museum of Art, which opened in 2006, now has a permanent collection of over 17,000 works, known for its fourteenth- through twentieth-century Western European paintings, encyclopedic collection of prints and drawings, and modern and contemporary American and Latin American art. The museum also has an extensive exhibition schedule that features a broad range of artistic expression and history. Annual attendance is 170,000.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE Williams College Museum of Art Williamstown, Massachusetts The Williams College Museum of Art in Williamstown, Massachusetts, was founded as the Lawrence Art Museum in 1926 by Karl Weston, the first director, who wanted Williams students to have an opportunity to see fine works of art. During his tenure as director, Weston developed an exceptional early collection. The museum now has approximately 13,000 works of art in a collection that spans the history of art. Nearly half of the collection is American art. The museum also has substantial holdings of modern and contemporary art; ancient art of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and Rome; Asian art; and European paintings, prints, drawings, and sculpture.
YALE UNIVERSITY Yale University Art Gallery New Haven, Connecticut The Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut, is one of the nation’s oldest, largest, and most comprehensive university art museums. It began in 1832 after Colonel John Trumbull, the Revolutionary War patriot-artist, donated more than 100 paintings of the American Revolution in return for an annuity. The agreement also called for a separate gallery structure that became the first university art museum in the Western Hemisphere. Trumbull also designed the original Picture Gallery to display the collection. The gallery, which was located on Yale’s Old Campus, was razed in 1901. In 1864, the university gallery moved to the neoclassical Street Hall, which also housed the Yale School of Art. The growth of the gallery collection resulted in the construction of the Swartwout Building, a Tuscan Romanesque structure, in 1928, and a modern building designed by architect Louis I. Kahn that was opened in 1953. Both buildings recently were renovated.

In the years that followed, the museum’s collections and activities were enlarged to include economic products, medicinal plants, pollen, archaeological materials, artifacts, and photographs. Today, the Botanical Museum is one of three research-oriented museums that comprise the Harvard Museum of Natural History (the others being the Museum of Comparative Zoology and the Mineralogical Museum). The Botanical Museum has collections of narcotic and medicinal plants, rubber-yielding plants, pre-Columbian etnbotany, economy botany, paleobotany, fossil woods, orchids, ethnomycological materials, manuscripts, and glass models of plants. The Ware Collection of Glass Models of Plants, popularly known as the “Glass Flowers,” is considered one the university’s treasures. The collection of 4,000 models was commissioned by the museum’s first director, George Lincoln Goodale, in 1886 and completed by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka in Germany.
in the world. The collections and libraries of the Gray Herbarium and Arnold Arboretum were brought together, and the vascular plant collections of the others were integrated in the mid-1970s. The collection of the New England Botanical Club Herbarium is in the process of being integrated. The Harvard University Herbaria now has over 5 million specimens in its collections; conducts research on evolutionay and systematic botany, population biology, bibliography, and botanical history; and has a 291,000-volume library on botany and horticulture.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY Harvard Forest and Fisher Museum of Forestry Petersham, Massachusetts The Harvard Forest is a 3,000-acre ecological research and education complex in Petersham, Massachusetts, that opened in 1907. It is one of the oldest and most intensively studied forests in North America. Scientists, students, and collaborators explore topics ranging from conservation and environmental change to land-use history and the ways physical, biological, and human systems interact to change the Earth. Two of its major research programs investigate New England’s natural ecosystem and the physical and biological processes in relation to climate change. The story of New England forests through time is told at the Fisher Museum of Forestry, opened in 1908 in Harvard Forest. The museum is named for Professor Richard T. Fisher, founder and director of the Harvard Forest. It features an exhibit of 23 dioramas conceived by Fisher and philanthropist Dr. Ernest G. Stillman that depicts the land-use history, ecology, and conservation of New England forests. The exhibit uses three-dimensional scenes divided into four sections-landscape history of central New England, conservation issues in the history of New England forests, forest management in central New England, and the artistry and construction of the dioramas. Other exhibits deal with forest history, ecology, and current research. Harvard Forest and Fisher Museum of Forestry, Harvard University, Athol Rd.

of the trees can still be seen on the campus. In 1901, a group of students and alumni formed an organization to preserve the campus landscape after the discovery of Carvill’s original plan. It now is called the Haverford College Arboretum Association, and it continues to perpetuate the original design. The 216-acre campus now has over 1,500 trees labeled with their scientific name, common name, and nativity. They include a blend of century-old oaks and maples, rare specimen trees, small flowering trees, natural woodland areas, and young plantings of diverse trees suitable for a home landscape. The site also has gardens, a duck pond, a nature trail, and a courtyard garden with the Carvill Arch, a remnant of Carvill’s original mid-nineteenth-century greenhouse.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY Hilltop Garden and Nature Center Bloomington, Indiana Hilltop Garden and Nature Center sits on a 5-acre tract of land that once was an alfalfa field on the east side of the Indiana University campus in Bloomington. It was the dream of the late Barbara Shalucha, a biology faculty member, who asked then-President Herman B. Wells to provide the land for one of the country’s first early children’s gardening programs. Wells agreed, and the children’s garden/nature center was born in 1948. It still exists today, providing gardening advice to children. The facility now also provides gardening assistance to the general public and serves as an Indiana University center for studies in horticulture and science education. The garden has a greenhouse and 11 theme gardens, including herb, butterfly, tomato, pumpkin, shade, tea, cutting flower, and vegetable and annual display gardens, as well as a 180-foot gourd walk and an event pavilion. A 20-acre wooded nature preserve also has been added since the founding. The gardening/nature center now offers guided tours, classes, workshops, and special events. Annual attendance is 2,000.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY Arthur Herbarium West Lafayette, Indiana One of the world’s largest and most studied research, teaching, and reference collection of plant rust fungi is located at the Purdue University Arthur Herbarium in West Lafayette, Indiana. The collection was started in 1887 by Dr. James C. Arthur, first head of the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology. It now has approximately 100,000 specimens of plant rust fungi, one of the largest natural groups of plant parasitic fungi, which have 6,000 to 7,000 species. Rusts, which are among the most complicated microorganisms, are said to attack more different kinds of wild and domesticated plants than any other natural fungus order. The ultimate goal of the Arthur Herbarium is to provide research and reference specimens of all of the different kinds of rusts that will demonstrate the complete diversity of this group of plant pathogens.

SMITH COLLEGE Botanic Garden of Smith College Northampton, Massachusetts Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, was one of the first women’s colleges to have a science-dedicated structure (Lilly Hall of Science). It became the home for plant sciences and the college herbarium after 1886. As the college expanded, Frederick Law Olmsted’s firm was hired to

Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, Herbariums & Nature Centers develop a comprehensive landscape plan for the campus. The Botanic Garden of Smith College formally took shape in 1895 under the direction of Botany Professor William Francis Ganong, who served as director of the garden until he retired in 1932. He was assisted by head gardener Edward J. Canning. They expanded the plant house, built a rock garden, revised Olmsted’s planting to make the entire campus an arboretum, and reworked the herbaceous beds as a systematic garden after the Engler-Pranti classification system. In the years that followed, the Botanic Garden was further enhanced as a botanic garden and arboretum that now covers 127 acres. The Botanic Garden now has a collection of 10,000 plants from New England and around the world. It is still using the greenhouse and conservatory built during the 1890s. The conservatory houses more than 2,500 species of plants, including collections of tropical, subtropical, and desert plants. The diverse collections are used primarily for instruction of Smith students, but also have provided material to researchers working on in such areas as plant evolution, medical cures, pharmaceuticals, and better gardens.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley Berkeley, California The University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley has one of the largest and most diverse plant collections in the nation. It contains over 13,000 different types of plants from around the world arranged by regions on 34 acres in nearby Strawberry Canyon. The garden was established in 1890 by Professor E. L. Greene, first chairman of the Department of Botany, after a small garden of economic plants was started in the 1870s by Dr. Eugene W. Hilgard, the founding dean of agriculture. The garden was located on the north side of the campus around a large glass conservatory modeled after the Crystal Palace in London. In the 1920s, the garden moved to its present site and developed its current landscape approach under the direction of T. Harper Goodspeed. The garden has 19,300 accessions, with the best families being cactus, sunflower, orchid, lily, health, and fern. It features plants of documented wild origin from nearly every continent, with the emphasis on plants from California, Mediterranean Basin, Australia, South Africa, and Chile. The outdoor collections are arranged primarily geographically by continent, including Asia, Australasia, California, Eastern North America, Mediterranean, Mexico/Central America, New World Desert, South America, and Southern Asia. The annual attendance is 40,000.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY University and Jepson Herbaria Berkeley, California The University and Jepson Herbaria at the University of California, Berkeley, have approximately 2.2 million specimens, the largest collection at a public university in the nation and one of the largest in North America. The University Herbarium, founded in 1895, holds botanical specimens from around the world, while the Jepson Herbarium specializes in vascular plants of California. The collections began in 1872, with the initial core being specimens gathered by the new state in the 1860s that came from the Geological Survey of California. The University Herbarium was established officially in 1895 by Professor William Albert Setchell, chairman of the Department of Botany, and the Jepson Herbarium was created in 1950 by a bequest from Willis Linn Jepson, the first botany doctoral graduate (1898) who later served on the faculty until 1937. All plant groups are represented in the University Herbarium collection, which has a worldwide scope and particular strengths in marine algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, and flowering plants. The Jepson Herbarium has a collection of about 96,000 specimens of vascular plants of California. The herbaria, which are located in the Valley Life Sciences Building, now are administered by the Berkeley Natural History Museums Administrative Services.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES UCLA Hannah Carter Japanese Garden Los Angeles, California The UCLA Hannah Carter Japanese Garden, a 1-acre garden located about a mile from the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles, once was the private garden of the late Edward W. and Hannah Carter, civic leaders who actively promoted the arts and education. In 1965, they donated their garden in Bel Air to the university and it later was named for Mrs. Carter. Mr. Carter was head of a department store chain and president of the University of California Board of Regents. The garden was created in 1961 by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Guiberson in memory of his mother, Ethel Guiberson, who had organized the Beverly Hills Garden Club. The garden was designed by landscape architect Nagao Sakuai. The major structures-main gate, teahouse, bridges, and shrine-were built in Japan and reassembled here. The major rocks, antique stone carvings, and water basin also came from Japan, and nearly all the trees and plants belong to species grown in Japan. The garden was seriously damaged by floods in 1969, but reconstructed to its original appearance by Dr. Kawana Koichi.

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, RIVERSIDE University of California Riverside Botanic Gardens Riverside, California
founder of the F. A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company acquired 30 acres of North Stamford woodlands for his home, training school, and research laboratory for his tree-care business. Over the years, he increased his holdings to 64 acres and assembled a large number of wood plant specimens from all over the world, particularly America, Europe, and Asia.
The University of California Riverside Botanic Gardens are located at two sites-a 40-acre garden in the foothills of the Box Springs Mountains east of the university and on the campus grounds in Riverside. The principal collections are at the foothills site, which has more than 3,500 plant species from around the world, more than 4 miles of trails through many microclimates and hilly terrains, and nearly 200 types of birds and a number of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. The campus grounds demonstrate landscape plants that grow well in Riverside’s climate.
In 1965, Bartlett moved to North Carolina and sold the property to the state and the site became the Connecticut State Arboretum. It opened to the public in 1966, with the operations being managed by the University of Connecticut’s Department of Plant Science. Subsequent development of the site, which was renamed the Bartlett Arboretum, was spearheaded by a local group of volunteers who formed the Bartlett Arboretum Association. In 1993, the land and operations were transferred to the University of Connecticut, and in 2002 the title to the land was given to the City of StamUniversity of California Riverside Botanic Gardens, Univer- ford with the association becoming responsible for the mansity of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521-0124. agerial and operational oversight of the property in Phone: 951/784-6962.

He became director of the university arboretum. When he died four years later, the university renamed the site the Harold L. Lyon Arboretum in recognition of his nearly four decades of dedication to the arboretum. The arboretum now is the only university botanical garden in the nation located in a tropical rainforest. It covers 194 acres of a seemingly primeval forest deep in the back of Manoa Valley with majestic trees, a lush forest floor, and the sound of birds and dripping water in the moist and fragrant air. The arboretum has more than 5,000 species of rare tropical plants. It was forced to close for five months in 2005 because its wooden cottages built in the 1920s were suffering from the humidity, insects, and age. Renovations now are under way after the university received $3 million in state funding. The annual attendance is 30,000.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL Coker Arboretum Chapel Hill, North Carolina The Coker Arboretum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was founded in 1903 when Dr. William Chambers Coker, the university’s first professor of botany, began developing a 5-acre boggy pasture on the campus into an outdoor classroom for the study of trees, shrubs, and vines native to North Carolina. He added many East Asian trees and shrubs beginning in the 1920s and continuing through the 1940s. The collection now consists of a wide variety of plantings, including flowering trees and shrubs and bulb and perennial displays. The arboretum is one of the oldest tracts managed by the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Annual attendance is 10,000.

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Robert Bebb Herbarium Norman, Oklahoma The first herbarium at the University of Oklahoma in Norman was started by Professor Edwin C. DeBarr in 1893 after the gift of 450 mounted plants. The number of specimens in the collections increased to 10,000 by 1903. But the herbarium collections-and much of the university-were destroyed in a 1903 fire that swept the campus. A new collection was started in 1904 and continued to grow, containing 80,000 specimens by 1945 and more than 208,000 specimens by 2010. In 1942, the herbarium was named for Robert Bebb, a Muskogee floral company owner and amateur botanist, who donated his personal collection of over 30,000 specimens to the university. The herbarium’s collections now consist almost entirely of vascular plant specimens. About 75 percent are Oklahoma plants, with other concentrations from the Great Plains, southern and western United States, and Mexico. The herbarium is housed in the George Lynn Cross Hall, the botany and microbiology building.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Pavilion Gardens and other garden/arboretum sites Charlottesville, Virginia The six Pavilion Gardens at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville date back to the 1820s. The garden walls were completed in 1824, but Thomas Jefferson, who was instrumental in founding the university in 1819, left no record
of his intensions for the gardens. However, the gardens survived as six gardens divided into two parts divided by serpentine walls as the Pavilion Gardens (upper gardens) and Hotel Gardens (lower gardens). Both were restored between 1948 and l964 by the Garden Club of Virginia. The renovated designs by landscape architects Alden Hopkins and Donald H. Parker reflect Jefferson’s gardens at Monticello. The Pavilion Gardens include many of the flowers and shrubs at Monticello and added by gardeners that followed, such as Madonna lilies, Virginia bluebells, carnations, crown imperial lilies, dwarf Persian irises, snapdragons, double hyacinths, peonies, African and French marigolds, tulips, ageratums, and zinnias. Among the pavilion trees are such native and exotic trees as dogwoods, maples, hollies, hemlocks, ashes, fruit trees, and the native tulip and sweet gum. The University of Virginia also has four other garden/arboretum sites-Morea, Carr’s Hill, Morea Farm, and Bandy Experimental Farm. Morea Arboretum is located at the 1830 home of John Emmet, first professor of natural history. It features a collection of hollies and native plants. Carr’s Hill has a terraced landscape of lawn, trees, and plants at the home of the university’s president on the knoll northwest of the Rotunda. Moven Farm is a historic farm with trees and plants donated by businessman and philanthropist John W. Kluge.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum Madison, Wisconsin The University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum is one of the most popular university arboretum in the nation, serving 650,000 visitors a year. Founded in 1934, the 1,260-acre arboretum along the southern half of Lake Wingra was built largely with crews from the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1935 and 1941. It became a pioneer in the restoration and management of ecological communities by focusing on the re-establishment of historic landscapes, including those
386
that predated large-scale human settlement. The site of the arboretum formerly was farm land that had fallen into disuse. The arboretum now has the oldest and most extensive collection of restored native plant and animal communities, as well as traditional collections of labeled plants arranged in garden-like displays. The restored ecological communities include tallgrass prairies, savannas, wetlands, and several forest types.

WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University Winston-Salem, North Carolina The Reynolda Gardens of Wake Forest University occupies 125 acres on the 1906-23 country estate and farm of tobacco industrialist R. J. Reynolds, and his wife, Katharine Smith Reynolds, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Many of the original buildings still remain on the property, including the adjacent 1917 Reynolds mansion, called “Reynolda,” which now is an art museum (see listing in Art Museums section). Among the remaining garden buildings are the 1913 greenhouse and conservatory, as well as the 4-acre formal garden designed by landscape architect Thomas Sears starting in 1915. After Mr. Reynolds died in 1918 and Mrs. Reynolds in 1924, the 1,067-acre estate and farm eventually was sold or donated to individuals and organizations, including a 1940s gift of 300 acres to Wake Forest University for its new location in Winston-Salem. The university and Reynolds Village, which contains approximately 60 shops and other structures, now are next to the Reynolda Gardens. The 125-acre garden grounds were donated to the university by the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation, headed by the eldest Reynolds daughter, for the establishment of Reynolda Gardens in a series of 62 resulting in the founding of Reynolda Gardens in 1962. The 1913 greenhouse and conservatory now contain an educational display of tropical and succulent plants, featuring an extensive orchid collection. The formal, greenhouse, and vegetable gardens have been restored. The vegetable garden is a 2-acre section separated from the greenhouse gardens by five teahouses, a pergola, and boxwood hedges. The garden site also contains a lake, boathouse, swimming pool, golf links, tennis courts, polo grounds, and an athletic field. The annual attendance is 100,000.

The garden’s outdoor displays now include remnants of the original design by landscape architect Beatrix Farrand. It was part of her design of the Yale campus in the 1920s-30s.

DREXEL UNIVERSITY Drexel Historic Costume Collection Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The history of the Drexel Historic Costume Collection at Drexel University in Philadelphia goes back to the late nineteenth century. After Anthony J. Drexel founded the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry in 1891 that later became Drexel University, Howard Pyle, head of the Art Department, suggested in 1898 that a costume collection be created. But the department did not start acquiring garments until the 1920s, with the earliest donations coming from the Drexel family and their extended circle of prominent Philadelphians. In 1959, the collection was moved to a central location after a generous gift in honor of legendary retailer Nan Duskin. Today, the collection is housed in Nesbitt Hall, where the collection can be seen by appointment.

The center is part of the American Missionary Association, which traces its roots to the coalition of abolitionists who came to the defense of Africans who revolted while being brought to America aboard the Amistad slave ship in 1839 and won a Supreme Court fight for their freedom in 1841. The Amistad Committee evolved into the inter-racial American Missionary Association, which founded hundreds of abolitionist and anti-caste churches and schools that later resulted in the establishment of numerous colleges and universities. During World War II, the association established a Race Relations Department at Fisk University to improve human relations through research and education. The Amistad Research Center was formed there in 1966 to document race relations and America’s ethnic heritage. It was incorporated as an independent institution and official repository for the archives and institutional records of the American Missionary Association by 1969. As space needs increased, the center was moved to Dillard University in New Orleans in 1970 and then to the Tulane University in 1987. The Amistad Research Center, housed in Tulane’s Tilton Memorial Hall, now contains over 15 million documents and other materials that trace African American history and race relations. The African American holdings represent about 90 percent of the center’s total collection, while 10 percent is devoted to documenting other ethnic groups, such as Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. Among the collection strengths are education; Civil Rights Movement; Africana; cultural arts; Louisiana Creoles; medical history, particularly in the South; personal papers of African American political and community leaders in New

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI University of Mississippi Museum University, Mississippi The University of Mississippi Museum in Oxford began in 1939 as a small city museum-known as the Mary Bule Museum-originally consisting of fine and decorative art and historical memorabilia. In the years that followed, historic costumes, dolls, and Civil War relics were added to the collection. In 1974, the museum was deeded to the university by the City of Oxford, and it was operated as a cultural center for the town and university. The following year, a new wing was added with funds from the state legislature and the Adair Skipwith Foundation, the museum was renamed the Kate Skipwith Teaching Museum, and the university’s collections of scientific instruments, Greek and Roman antiquities, fine art, and technology were added to the museum

HARVARD UNIVERSITY Decorah, Iowa Mineralogical Museum at Harvard University The Geology Collection at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, Cambridge, Massachusetts
The Mineralogical Museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a vast geological collection that has been assembled since 1784. The museum, now part of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, resulted from the 1977 merger of the Mineralogical Museum and the Geological Museum, which originally were separate. The collection includes over 50,000 minerals known for their broad representation, wealth of rare species, and large number of specimens described in scientific literature. The collection also has about 1,500 specimens of meteorites and thousands of rocks that fall into four categories-igneous and metamorphic (hard or crystalline) rocks, sedimentary (soft) rocks, and ores. The collection specimens are the result of research and teaching in such fields of geology as mineralogy, petrology, and mining geology. Some other types of geological specimens-such as plant and animal fossils-are now part of Harvard’s Botanical Museum and Museum of Comparative Zoology (see separate listings). The Mineralogical Museum is located on the third floor of the Harvard Museum of Natural History building. Mineralogical Museum, Harvard University, 26 Oxford St. Cambridge, MA 02138.

It originated as what was then the New Mexico School of Mines in 1889 to help in the education of engineers and geologists. It was one of the finest mineral museums in the world at the time, winning gold medals at two international expositions. But all was lost in a 1928 fire. The present state geology bureau museum was established through donations and purchases in 1935 and its collection has grown to over 15,000 mineral specimens from throughout the state, the Southwest, and around the world. It includes one of the greatest treasure troves in the region-gold, silver, and

PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum and Art Gallery University Park, Pennsylvania The Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum and Art Gallery at Pennsylvania State University in University Park (State College) has a collection of more than 22,000 rock, mineral, and fossil specimens, as well as glasses, ceramics, metals, plastics, synthetic materials, old mining and scientific equipment, and archaeological artifacts. The museum/gallery was started in 1930 by Dean Edward Steidle, who wanted to further understanding of the mining and metallurgical fields and change the image of the School of Mines and Metallurgy. He personally collected many of the artworks related to the mining and related industries on display in an effort to make the school more of a cultural center. The museum/gallery now has the most extensive collection of mining-related paintings and sculpture and the world’s most extensive exhibits on mineral properties. The exhibits are largely push-button electro-mechanical displays that demonstrate the electrical, optical, and physical properties of minerals and materials such as fluorescence, radioactivity, magnetism, conductivity, flexibility, triboluminescence, piezoelectricity, double refraction, and resistivity. Among the other displays are more than 100 mine safety lamps and the scientific instruments and specimens belonging to Frederick Augustus Genth, the famous mineralogist. The museum, housed in the Deike Building, has an annual attendance of 8,000.

UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO Geology Museum
Newark, New Jersey
Albuquerque, New Mexico
The University of Delaware Mineralogical Museum in Newark originated in 1964 with the collection of industrialist Irenee du Pont, Sr., who began the collection in 1919 and continued to add to the collection in the ensuing years. Upon his death, du Pont specified that the collection should go to the university as an educational aid. The collection continues to grow in size and quality with the annual support of du Pont’s niece, Mrs. David S. Craven, and others. A grant from the Crystal Trust enabled the university to move the collection from the University Library to a new facility in Penny Hall in the 1970s. The museum recently has been renovated and reinstalled with the minerals being displayed as natural works of art and as illustrations of mineralological concepts. The museum is administered as part of the University Museums system at the university. Annual attendance is 6,000.
The Geology Museum at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque was established in the 1930s by Stuart Northrop, for whom the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences building is named. It displays selections from the department’s collection of nearly 20,000 catalogued mineral, fossil, and rock specimens.

The Geology Museum at the University of Wisconsin in Madison began in 1877 in the original Science Hall building, which was destroyed in a fire in 1884. It lost a significant portion of its collection, but then became part of the new Science Hall in 1886. It was not until 1929, however, that the first full-time curator, Gilbert Rassch, was appointed. He reorganized and modernized the museum, and greatly expanded its collection. He also erected two miniature models of mastodons, mammoths, and dinosaurs on

UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING University of Wyoming Geological Museum Laramie, Wyoming The University of Wyoming Geological Museum in Laramie traces its founding to the opening of the museum in 1887 when a small natural history museum was part of the first
VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY campus building. It then experienced several name and location changes and expansion of its collection and exhibits before moving into its present home in the S. H. Knight Geology Building in 1956. But the museum was closed and almost died in 2009 because of state financial difficulties. The museum reopened later that year after a retired professor of geology and his wife, Dr. Brainard and Anne Mears, made a $570,000 gift that was matched by the state legislature and other contributions followed. The museum’s exhibits feature many of the dinosaur fossils in its collection, including the skeletons of a huge Apatosaurus and a horned dinosaur, the first dinosaur found in Wyoming in 1872. Among the other exhibits are rocks, minerals, and invertebrate fossils, such as Saurolophus and Lambeosaurus duck-billed dinosaurs, a juvenile Maiasaurus skeleton, and an exhibit on dinosaur nests and eggs.

Historical Museums & Houses AMHERST COLLEGE Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and The Evergreens Amherst, Massachusetts The Emily Dickinson Museum: The Homestead and The Evergreens in Amherst, Massachusetts, celebrates the life of the famous poet. Emily Dickinson was born and lived most of her life in the circa 1813 Homestead. Her brother Austin and his family lived in the 1856 Evergreens house on the 3 acres they shared in the center of Amherst. The Homestead was owned by Emily’s father from 1855 until his death in 1874. The house was inherited by Austin’s daughter, Martha Dickinson Bianchi, who sold it in 1916 and moved much of the Dickinson family’s furnishings and personal belongings to the Evergreens. The Homestead was a private residence until 1965, when Amherst bought the property. Martha Dickinson Bianchi, who created an “Emily’s Room” as a memorial with her manuscripts and belongings, lived in the Evergreens until her death in 1943. The house was left to Bianchi’s friend and literary assistant, Alfred Hampson. After the death of Hampson and his wife, the Trust was established in 1992 to develop the Evergreens and its contents as a cultural facility. Attendance is 12,000.

APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY Appalachian Cultural Museum Boone, North Carolina The Appalachian Cultural Museum at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina, was forced to close in 2006 because the university converted the 10,000 square feet it occupied since 1989 in University Hall to other uses. But the museum is continuing to operate its educational programs and to serve as an electronic museum until a new campus home is found. Programs are being presented at alternate sites and some of the museum exhibits and programs are presented online. The regional historical and cultural museum now offers educational programs on such subjects as colonial frontiersmen, history and life of the Cherokees,

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY Hopewell Plantation Clemson, South Carolina Hopewell Plantation began as a basic log structure built around 1785 by General Andrew Pickins and his wife, Rebecca Calhoun, a relative of John C. Calhoun. Pickens played a key role in the Revolutionary War and later was honored for his gallantry and bravery. The log house eventually grew into a 10-room manor with outbuildings and other aspects of a plantation. Pickens played an important role in the development of the state and the nation as a member of the State House of Representatives, an Indian commissioner, and a U.S. senator, and was instrumental in getting Indian leaders to sign the Treaty of Hopewell that ceased hostilities. The land eventually was sold and in the 1930s became Cherry Farm at Clemson University. The university now is researching ways that the property can be restored to its original state and honor the Pickens family. Meanwhile, it is not open to the public as a historic site.

CRANBROOK EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY Cranbrook House and Gardens Bloomfield, Michigan The Cranbrook House and Gardens is the centerpiece of the Cranbook Educational Community, a complex of educational and museum facilities in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The 1908 English Arts and Crafts-style house designed by Albert Kahn was the home of Cranbrook founders George Gough Booth and Ellen Scripps Booth. Mr. Booth was publisher of the Detroit News and Mrs. Booth, the daugther of the founder of Scripps newspapers. The Booths became philanthropists and art patrons who resolved to use their wealth to establish educational and cultural institutions at their new suburban Cranbrook estate, named for Mr. Booth’s ancestral home in England. Cranbrook House, the oldest manor house in the Detroit area, and its gardens, cover 40 acres of the 319-acre site that is a National Historic Landmark. The Booths commissioned the finest artisans, craftsmen, and studios of the period to furnish the house with handcrafted furniture, tapestries, tiles, stained and leaded glass, and other works of fine and decorative arts. Guided tours now are given of 10 rooms on the first floor of the mansion (includes garden visit). The gardens, originally designed by Mr. Booth, feature sunken, formal, bog, herb, wildflower, and Oriental gardens, and fountains, sculpture, specimen trees, and a lake. The Cranbrook Educational Community was founded by George and Ellen Booth in 1904. It has become an innovative center of education, science, and art.

In 1963, he gave the Conner house to the college, and Earlham President Lundrum Bolling suggested developing a historical village around the house. Lilly agreed and gave the college the remainder of the Conner farmland and provided financial assistance to create the living history museum. The 1823 restored Conner home now is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Conner Prairie enables visitors to travel back in time and learn about nineteenth-century rural life from re-enacting costumed interpreters. The outdoor museum has five re-created historical areas-a reconstructed 1816 Lenape Indian camp, 1823 homestead house, 1886 village/working farm, hands-on pioneer area, and a center with historical exhibits and a film about early settler life on the Midwest prairie. Visitors also can engage in many pioneer activities, such as grind corn,

Uvalde, Texas
Charlottesville, Virginia
The John Nance Garner Museum in Uvalde, Texas, honors the life and career of John Lance “Cactus Jack” Garner, one of the most powerful vice presidents in American history, serving with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The museum, which is a division of the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin, was founded in 1952. It is located in the 1920 home of the vice president during the New Deal years of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It has a collection of political material, photographs, furniture, clothing, and other items pertaining to Garner’s life and career.

The Rotunda at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville is the crowning achievement of the campus designed by Thomas Jefferson. It was built in 1822-26 as what Jefferson envisioned as the architectural and academic heart of a community of scholars in an academical villege that included pavilions, student rooms, and an expansive lawn. The Rotunda was modeled after the Pantheon in Rome, but about one-half its size. It was gutted in an 1895 fire caused by faulty electrical wiring, and twice restored. In 1895-98, the Rotunda was rebuilt with a Beaux Arts interpretation in a Roman style, and again in 1973-76 to restore it to Jerfferson’s original design, which influenced having the campus being designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987.

as well as an architectural, botanical, artistic, and historical showcase. It was established in 1940 after Robert Woods Bliss and his wife, Mildred, bequeathed the mansion, gardens, and collections to Harvard University. Dunbarton Oaks now is primarily a residential research institute where scholars can consult its books, images, and objects, but its museum, gardens, lectures, and concerts are open to the public. Mr. Bliss, an alumus of Harvard, was a retired Foreign Service officer and former ambassador to Argentina, while Mrs. Bliss was heiress to the Fletcher’s Castoria fortune. Their Federal-style home was built for William Hammond Dorsey in 1801 and later was the Washington residence of Senator and Vice President John C. Calhoun. Over the years, the mansion underwent many changes. Nineteenth-century additions were replaced with new wings, and the interior was remodeled and enlarged to accommodate the library and collections. Scholars from throughout the world now come on fellowships to use many Dumbarton Oaks resources basically accumulated by Mr. and Mrs. Bliss. The historic estate has a library of over 125,000 volumes, about 10 acres of gardens, and numerous exhibits that feature materials from its collections, including Byzantine and pre-Columbian art, European masterpieces, rare books and prints relating to the gardens, and special exhibitions. Annual attendance is 38,000.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE Chapin Library of Rare Books Williamstown, Massachusetts The Chapin Library of Rare Books at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, has more than 50,000 volumes and over 100,000 other such materials as manuscripts, prints, drawings, paintings, maps, photographs, bookplates, ephemera, and memorabilia. The library, founded in 1923, was an outgrowth of Alfred Clark Chapin’s interest in historically important books. Chapin, an 1869 alumnus, successful lawyer, and trustee of the college, became interested in such books in 1915 while visiting an antiquarian bookseller and saw a book that was the first Bible (1661, 1663 Eliot Indian Bible) printed in what became the United States. It led him to believe that a well-rounded collection of important books in original or early editions could be of great value to students of Williams College. He then created a special library at the college of fifteenth-century books; English, American, and European literature; Bibles and liturgical works; illustrated books; science books; and a selection of early manuscripts,

YALE UNIVERSITY Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library and Historical Library New Haven, Connecticut The Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, opened in 1941, but the university’s first medical library dates back to 1814. The library’s initial collection, however, was integrated with what was then the College Library in 1865. It was not until 1917 that another separate medical library was begun by the Medical School faculty. It operated until the current building was constructed with two wings-one for the Historical Library reading room and the other for the periodical room and stacks for books and journals-and connected to the Sterling Hall of Medicine. The Historical Library was conceived in 1935 when three prominent physicians-Drs. Harvey Cushing, John F. Fulton, and Arnold C. Kiebs-agreed to donate their major collections of early texts on the history of science and medicine to Yale. The library received its present name in 1990 after a major renovation and expansion was made possible by a gift from Betsey Cushing Whitney, daughter of Dr. Harvey Cushing, and her family in 1985. The library was renamed for her father, one of the nation’s first neurosurgeons, and husband,

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII Waikiki Aquarium Honolulu, Hawaii The Waikiki Aquarium, operated by the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, is the third oldest public aquarium in the United States, It opened in 1904 as the Honolulu Aquarium, a commercial venture established by the Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Company, which sought “to show the the riches of Hawaii’s reefs” and to entice visitors to ride the new trolley line to Kapiolani Park, where the aquarium was located. In 1912, the C. M Cooke Estate funded a marine biology laboratory to begin the aquarium’s research tradition. When the aquarium’s lease expired in 1919, the Cooke Estate ceded the site to the Territority of Hawaii, which turned the administration of the aquarium over to the newly established University of Hawaii. It now seeks to increase public awareness of the ecology and conservation of marine life and reef habitats through exhibitry, research, and education. The aquarium, located near a living coral reef along the Waikiki shoreline, is devoted to the aquatic life of Hawaii and the tropical Pacific. It has more than 3,500 marine animals and over 500 species of aquatic animals and plants. It was the first aquarium to successfully develop exhibits of living corals in 1978 and the first to breed and maintain chambered nautilus. Among its exhibits are a re-creation of habitats that might be found along a Hawaiian rocky shoreline and contains yellow tangs, parrortfish, and a tidal pool area; marine life on coral reefs of the tropical West and South Pacific Ocean; marine communities that show the diversity of sea life in the Hawaiian Islands; an exhibit on how corals are living animals that can grow.

In the process, the personal papers of Philip Sousa and Herbert L. Clarke, a university bandmaster, and related materials from the University Bands were transferred to the University Library. Since then, many other collections have been added, including over 50 record series documenting the history of American music, as well as the music and performing arts at the University of Illinois. Among the collection additions have been materials about Albert Austin Harding, the university’s first bandmaster; papers and music by and about Elbern H. Alkire, Paul Bierley, Pietro A. Cipollone, Kenneth Gaburo, Harry Partch,
Virginia Root, and Paul Martin Zonn; and instrument collections from Alkire and Carl Busch and the Jack Linker Sound Recording Collection. The center, housed in the Harding Band Building, functions as a museum and presents changing exhibitions and events on a variety of musical themes.

AMHERST COLLEGE
Natural History & Cultural Museums AMHERST COLLEGE Beneski Museum of Natural History, Amherst College Amherst, Massachusetts The Beneski Museum of Natural History, Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, is the fifth generation of natural history museums at the college. The first collections began in the 1830s, with the Octagon, built in 1848, being the first museum. It was followed in 1855 by the Appleton Cabinet, which was built with a donation from Samuel Appleton to house the Hitchcock Ichnological Collection, Gilbert Museum of Indian Relics, and Adams Zoological Museum. The Hitchcock collection, which still has the largest collection of dinosaur fossil tracks in the world, was named after Edward Hitchcock, a professor of natural history and chemistry and president of Amherst College who spearheaded campus scientific investigations in the mid-nineteenth century. The museum now has more than 200,000 objects spanning a dozen different types of natural history collections and three floors of exhibits with over 1,700 specimens on display. The museum moved into a new building in 2006 from the former Pratt Gynasium, which it occupied since 1947, and changed its name from Pratt Museum of Natural History. The museum now houses collections and exhibits that include vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology, minerals, and other geologic specimens and anthropological materials. Among the exhibits are large Ice Age mammals, including a mastodon discovered in 1869 and a mammoth found in 1913; the ichnology collection with dinosaur skeletons; mounted and drawers of specimens that chronicle evolution and ecology; and a variety of invertebrates, trace fossils, minerals, and exhibits of local geology.

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY Mayborn Museum Complex Waco, Texas The Mayborn Museum Complex at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, is primarily a natural history museum that has undergone recent changes. In 2004, the 143,000-square-foot complex opened, unifying three separate museum facilities-the Strecker Museum, a natural history museum founded in 1893; Ollie Mae Moen Discovery Center, a
children’s museum which has been replaced by the Harry and Anna Jeanes Discovery Center; and the Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village, a collection of 15 early buildings that reflect agricultural life in Texas from 1880 to 1910. The former Strecker Museum was named for John K. Strecker, who served as curator from 1903 to 1933 and was responsible for much of the museum’s early natural history collections and expansion. The Mayborn Museum Complex now features the natural and cultural history of central Texas, with many walk-in dioramas and hands-on stations. Among the exhibits are a limestone cave, a Texas forest, and a mammoth room where visitors walk on a see-through floor over a re-created pit to see mammoth bones found in the area. Among the other exhibits are a 28-foot-long model of a Pliosaur dinosaur; such early structures as a Waco Indian grass hut, a Norwegian rock house, a Comanche tepee, and an early log cabin; and varied collections patterned after early Mayborn Museum Complex, Bayor University, 1300 S.

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY Michigan State University Museum
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Founded in 1857, the Michigan State University Museum in East Lansing was the first collection-holding museum on the campus and one of the earliest in the Midwest. It now is the largest natural and cultural museum in Michigan, interpreting natural and cultural diversity through education, collections, exhibitions, and research. It has collections and exhibits in archaeology, anthropology, vertebrate paleontology, folklife and folk arts, modern vertebrate, agriculture, popular cultures, and decorative arts that focus on Michigan and its relationship to the Great Lakes and beyond.
Sixteen natural history collections at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge were united by the state legislature in 1999 to form a non-administrative consortium called the Louisiana Muserum of Natural History, now the official state natural history museum. The collections hold more than 2.8 million specimens, objects, and artifacts that document the natural history of the state. The 16 collections are dispersed among six independently administered units on the campus, with the two principal exhibit sites being the Museum of Natural Science in Foster Hall and the Textile and Costume Museum in the Human Ecology Building.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA W. H. Over State Museum Vermillion, South Dakota The W. H. Over State Museum at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion is named for a South Dakota homesteader with an eighth grade education who became a productive scientist and the director of what originally was called the University of South Dakota Museum. William Henry Over began collecting insects, plants, and artifacts as a boy, and extended the collecting to fossils, shells, and Indian artifacts as a homestead farmer. He also began studying and writing about natural history. In 1912, he wrote an article about how difficult it was to break rocks to obtain specimens of Spenodiscus lenticularis that caught the attention of the university’s Dean E. C. Perisho, who also was the state geologist. It resulted in William Over becoming assistant curator of the University of South Dakota Museum. At the museum, Over expanded his study and findings of the Arikara Indians, mammals, birds, fish, trees and shrubs, wild flowers, archaeology, and other fields. He became director of the museum and made other contributions to the study of natural and cultural history of South Dakota and the region, resulting in the university awarding him an honorary doctor of science degree in 1936 and naming the museum for him after his death in 1948. The museum now has extensive collections in archaeology, geology, ethnology, natural history, regional history, photography, and contemporary Sioux paintings.

The museum is the oldest in the state of Washington. It was founded in 1885 by the Young Naturalists’ Society, an amateur natural history club, while collaborating with Natural Science Professor Orson Bennett Johnson at the Washington Territorial University, which later became the University of Washington. In 1899, the Washington state legislature gave the museum the name of Washington State Museum. The museum was renamed for the late Judge Thomas Burke in 1962 after a large bequest from the estate of his widow, Caroline McGilvra Burke, and a National Science Foundtion

WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY Regents, persuaded the State of Washington to donate its exhibits from the l893 Clolumbian Exposition in Chicago to the fledgling college that later became Washington State University. The original exhibits were largely natural history in content, including anthropology, geology, and biology, as well as agriculture. Over time, the museum, named for Connor, was transformed into being largely a zoology museum through the influence of successive curators. It now has a collection of 65,000 specimens primarily in ornithology, mammalogy, and herpetology and exhibits with over 700 mounted birds and mammals in Abelson Hall. Annual attendance is 23,000.

animal trackways, and archaeological and ethnological artrifacts. The museum opened to the public in 1876, but its building was demolished for a dormitory in 1917. It wasn’t until 1925 that it was replaced by its current building, which later was expanded for the museum and the attached Bingham and Kline Laboratories. The museum also occupies parts of three other buildings, has a field station at Long Island Sound, and owns Horse Island in the Thimble Islands that is used for experiments. About half of the museum’s collections are housed in the Environmental Science Facility, which is connected to the museum and the adjacent Kline Geology Laboratory. The Peabody Museum now has more than 20 million specimens and objects in its collections in 11 divisions-anthropology, botany, entomology, historical scientific instruments, invertebrate paleontology, invertebrate zoology, meteorites and planetary science, mineralogy, paleontology, vertebrate paleontology, and vertebrate zoology. They include such world-class collections as its dinosaur fossils, birds, marine invertebrates, and Incan artifacts from the Machu Picchu ruins in Peru. The museum’s best known exhibit is The Great Hall, which features skeletons from its world renowned paleontology collections. It first opened in 1926 and still contains some of the extensive fossils collected by Marsh, Among the fossils on display are a juvenile Apatosaurus dinosaur, the largest mounted skeleton, and the reconstructed skeletons of a Carmarasaurus, Stegosaurus, and Camptosaurus. The hall also contains one of the two huge museum murals created by Rudolph F. Zallinger-The Age of Reptiles, which measures 110 by 16 feet and was done in the Renaissance fresco al secco technique in the 1940s. Zallinger’s The Age of Mammals, which he produced in the 1960s and is 60 by 51/2 feet, is in the Hall of Mannmalian Evolution.

New Haven, Connecticut The Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, Connecticut, is one of the oldest and largest natural history museums in the world. It was founded in 1866 by philanthropist George Peabody with a gift of $l50,000 at the urging of his nephew, Othniel Charles Marsh, an early paleontologist who later became a highly regarded professor at Yale known for his dinosaur findings. When Peabody died in 1869, Marsh used his inheritance to fund expeditions and increase the museum’s collections, particularly in dinosaur fossils. He discovered 56 new species of dinosaurs, as well as fossils of vertebrates and invertebrates, prehistoric

CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Palomar Observatory
The W. M. Keck Observatory on the 13,796-foot Mauna Kea summit near Hilo on the big island of Hawaii has two telescopes that are among the world’s largest optical and infrared telescopes. Each is eight stories tall, weighs 300 tons, and operates with nanometer precision. The two telescopes’ primary mirrors are 33 feet in diameter and composed of 36 hexagonal segments that work together as a single piece of reflective glass. Because of the large size of the primary mirror, the Keck telescopes offer the greatest potential sensitivity and clarity available to astronomy. They initially were
The Palomar Observatory, located on Palomar Mountain in San Diego County and operated by the California Institute of Technology, is home to one of the world’s largest telescopes-the 200-inch Hale telescope. The telescope resulted from studies by astronomer George Ellery Hale and others in the 1920s that a larger telescope was needed for advancement in astronomical research. In 1928, the International Education Board awarded Caltech a grant for the construction of a 200-inch telescope. After numerous tests were con-

Emporia, Kansas
Florence, South Carolina
The programs at the Peterson Planetarium at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas, since its opening in 1959 have been split about equally between university and community audiences. Approximately half of the programs are for direct support of instruction in several courses in the physical sciences, and the others are presented for the interest and enjoyment of school and community groups and the general public. The planetarium and its instruments, including the original Spitz A-2 star projector, were severely damaged when the main water line in the Cram Science Hall complex ruptured and flooded the chamber in 1994. The planetarium was restored and the equipment replaced with a Spitz 512 projection, Spitz ATM-4 automation, video projection, and sterophonic sound systems.
The Francis Marion University Observatory was built in 1981 on the far south side of the campus in Florence, South Casrolina. The founding director was Professor Ed Dooley, who also was the first director of the university’s planetarium. The observatory, which is used in astronomy courses, has monthly open houses for the public. It has four telescopes with focal plane equipment-14-inch and 8-inch Celestron, 3.5-inch Questar, and 70-mm Meade telescopes, as well as 10 other telescopes.

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE Sproul Observatory Swarthmore, Pennsylvania The Sproul Observatory at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, has an open house the second Tuesday of every month, except for August. The observatory was established as the Cunningham Observatory in 1888 by Susan Cunningham, professor of mathematics and the college’s first astronomer. In 1906, she got William Cameron Sproul to fund a 24-inch research telescope and other equipment and a photographic telescope in 1908, and the Cunningham Observatory was replaced with a new observatory named for Sproul. The early 24-inch telescope is still used at the observatory, but not for research. It has been replaced for research by a new 24-inch reflecting telescope in the recently completed Peter van de Kamp Observatory, which was funded by an anonymous donor in honor of Peter van de Kamp, professor of astronomy and director of the Sproul Observatory from 1937 to 1972. The observatory, which is not open to the public, is located in the college’s new Science Center.

UNIVERSITY CORPORATION FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY CORPORATION FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH National Center for Atmospheric Research Boulder, Colorado The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a nonprofit consortium of over 100 North American university members and affiliates in the atmospheric and related sciences, and sponsored by the National Science Foundation. UCAR was established in 1959 and the research center in 1960 upon the recommendation of a committee of distinguished scientists appointed by the National Academy of Sciences.to investigate the state of meteorology, which lost ground in the postwar years. The committee recommended an exponential increase in support for basic research and the establishment of a national institute for atmospheric research operated by a university consortium with support from NSF. Boulder was selected as the site for the National Center for Atmospheric Research because of its altitude, clear skies, and the University of Colorado’s work in atmospheric research. The center seeks to better understand the Earth’s atmosphere and how weather and climate affect the Earth by engaging in research and providing a wide range of equipment and technologies to the scientific community for the study of the Earth’s atmosphere. The center has five buildings, including Mesa Laboratory, designed by architect I. M. Pei, where a visitor center with exhibits is located. The exhibits describe the work of the laboratories and give visitors a comprehensive view of the Earth’s past and present climate.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Steward Observatory Tucson, Arizona Steward Observatory at University of Arizona in Tucson is a campus landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was established in 1916 under the leadership of its first director, Andrew Ellicott Douglass, who joined the faculty in 1906 after helping to build the astronomical observatory that became the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. The Steward Observatory was made possible by a bequest from Mrs. Lavinia Steward in memory of her late husband, Henry B. Steward. The observatory, which was delayed by World War I, was not dedicated until 1923. It featured a 36-inch Newtonian telescope, which was relocated to a darker site on Kitt Peak in 1936 because the once solitary setting was encroached upon by lights from the expanding Tucson. The telescope was replaced with a smaller
21-inch Cassegrain telescope-known as the Raymond E. White, Jr. Reflector-still used by students and public outreach. The observatory dome also is open for frequent Monday evening public lectures and viewing the night sky. The public also can tour the Steward Observatory Mirror Laboratory located under Arizona Stadium. Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Dept. of Astronomy/Steward Observatory, 933 N.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER Sommers-Bausch Observatory Boulder, Colorado The Sommers-Bausch Observatory at the University of Colorado at Boulder opened in 1953. It was named for Mayme Sommers, who gave nearly $50,000 in memory of her husband, Elmer E. Sommers, a Denver oilman, and the Bausch and Lomb Co. , which donated a 10.5-inch refractring telescope. Since then, the observatory has been expanded and modernized. It now has a 24-ich Boller and Chivens telescope, 18- and 16-inch DFM telescopes, a heliostat solar telescope, and smaller telescopes from 3.5 to 8 inches, as well as cameras, binoculars, starwheel, and photometer. The observatory serves night class observing sessions during the week and is open for public for special events and open houses with Fiske Planetarium on Friday nights.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii Hilo, Hawaii The ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii is a 40,000-square-foot astronlmy science complex in the University of Hawaii’s Science and Technology Park above the Hilo branch campus on the island of Hawaii. The complex, originally called the Maunakea Astronomy Education Center, was developed in the mid-1990s by a team of educators, scientists, and community leaders who saw the need for a comprehensive educational facility to show the connection between the traditions of Hawaii and the astronomical research conducted at the nearby 13,796-foot Maunakea (also known as Mauna Lea) summit. The design of the building celebrates Hawaiian culture’s connection to the sea asnd sky, featuring a rooftop with three titanium-covered cones, representing the volcanoes of three of the largest mountains on the island-Maunakea, Maunaloa, and Hualalai. The center has a planetarium, exhibits, and a Hawaiian landscape garden. The exhibits are divided into two major areas-Origins and Explorations-which tell about Hawaiian and scientific beliefs, theories and practices related to Maunakera, the stars, and the world around us. Mauna Lea is the world’s premier site for ground-based astronomical observatories and.has the largest collection of telescopes, operated by astronomers from 11 countries. They include the W. M. Keck Observatory, largest optical/infrared telescope; United Kingdom Infrared Telerscope, largest dedicated infrared telescope; and James Clark Maxwell Telescope, largest submillimeter telescope. The site is managed as an outstation of the University of Hawaii’s Institute of Astronomy. It also has a visitor information station at the Onizuke Center for International Astronomy at the 9,300-foot level which contains exhibits about the mountain and its observatories, star gazing programs, and summit tours. ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Hilo, 600 ‘Imiloa Place, Hilo, HI 96720.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL Morehead Planetarium and Science Center Chapel Hill, North Carolina The Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the first planetarium located on a university campus in the United States. The planetarium, which opened in 1949, resulted from the wish of John Motley Morehead III, a prominent businessman, chemist, and alumnus, to do something special for the university and the children of North Carolina. Harlow Shapley, the eminent Harvard astronomer, advised him that a planetarium could be a great cultural enrichment for citizens of all ages-and Morehead agreed. During the 1960s and 1970s, the planetarium staff also provided training for more than 60 astronauts in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space flight programs, including 12 who walked on the Moon. The planetarium is one of the largest in the nation. It has a 68-foot dome, Zeiss Mark VI star projector, and 240 seats. The star theater has been renamed the GlaxoSmithKline Fulldome Theater since the 2010 installation of a fulldome digital video projection system that results in an immersive planetarium experience. It also has science exhibits, educator-led programs in the Science Stage (formerly NASA Digital Theater), a Department of Physics and Astronomy observatory deck with a 24-inch Schmitt-Cassegrain telescope, the university’s visitor center, a school portable planetarium program, and two mobile science laboratories that travel throughout the state.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Leander McCormick Observatory Charlottesville, Virginia The Leander McCormick Observatory at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville was constructed in 1885 after McCormick provided the funds for a telescope and the observatory. The observatory featured a 28-inch refractor telescope, the second largest in the world at the time. The telescope served as the Department of Astronomy’s primary research instrument until the 1960s and was used for astrometry into the 1990s. It has been replaced by three new telescopes-26-inch Alvan Clark refractor, 10-inch Mead LX-200 refractor, and 6-inch Alvan Clark refractor. Hardwar upgrades and new instrumentation have transformed the observatory into a modern facility capable of optical CCD imaging and spectroscopy in conjunction with teaching and public outreach programs. However, much of the department’s local research has been moved to the Fan Mountain Observatory (see separate listing) because of light pollution caused by the growing city. The university also engages in astronomical research at such other observatories as the Apache Point Observatory, Mount Graham International Observatory, and Steward Observatory. The McCormick Observatory now is open to the public on the first and third Friday nights of the month, and to educational groups on the second and fourth Fridays with advance reservation or for daytime tours when they cannot arrange a night visit. The sky can be viewed on clear nights with the original McCormick telescope and two smaller telescopes. Visitors also can see faculty presentations and exhibits. In addition, the Department of Astronomy offers an introductory astronomy class for the community on Tuesday evenings. The observatory’s annual attendance is 4,000.

Madison, Wisconsin The Washburn Observatory, named for early Governor Cadwallader C. Washburn, was compled in 1881 and was a major research facility at the University of Wisconsin at Madison for a half century. Its 15-inch achromatic reflecting telescope still provides great views of the sky, despite considerable light pollution. But the observatory now is used primarily for introductory astronomy courses and public open houses, rather than research. The viewing is preceeded by a 30-minute PowerPoint presentation. Free open houses are offered every Wednesday in the summer and the first and third Wednesdays the remainder of the year. University astronomers now also conduct research studies at the Pine Bluff, WTYN, and SALT observatories.

JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY OF AMERICA The Jewish Museum New York, New York The Jewish Museum, part of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City, is one of the world’s largest institutions devoted to exploring the scope and diversity of Jewish culture. Founded in 1904, the museum has been housed since 1944 in the former mansion of businessman and philanthropist Felix Warburg and his wife, Freda Schiff Warburg. The French Gothic chateau-style home on Fifth Avenue was donated by the widow to the seminary for use as the museum, which had been located in the seminary library for over four decades. The museum opened in the former residence in 1947, added a sculpture court in 1959 and the Albert A. List Building in 1963, and completed a major expansion and renovation in 1993. The museum began after Judge Mayer Sulzberger gave 26 objects of fine and ceremonial art to the seminary’s library and suggested that a museum be formed. Today, the museum has a collection of more than 26,000 objects that include archaeological artifacts, ethnographic materials, ceremonial objects, paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, numismatics, and broadcast media materials-one of the largest collections of its type in the world. The museum has illuminated the Jewish experience-both secular and religious-for nearly a century. It presents large temporary exhibitions of an interdisciplinary nature, often of art and artifacts interpreted through social history. The annual attendance is 192,000.

SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY Mission Santa Clara de Asis Santa Clara, California
The Mission Santa Clara de Asis, a historic Spanish mission founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1777, is located on the campus of Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California. The mission was the first of the 21 California missions to be built to honor a woman. It was named for Clare of Assisi, the founder of the Order of the Poor Clares. The mission, originally located at an Indian village, was ruined and rebuilt six times, including being destroyed in a 1925 fire. The mission was restored, but its parochial functions were transferred to the St. Clare Parish Church west of campus and the mission assumed its present role as a chapel and the centerpiece of the university campus. The Santa Clara mission was the eighth of the early Spanish missions in California. It was located at an Indian village and at its peak served the greatest number of Indians among the missions. After the Jesuit order of priests assumed control of the mission, Father John Nobili began a college on the mission site in 1851 that grew into Santa Clara University. It was the only mission to become part of a university, which now is the oldest university in the state. The public can visit the historic mission, which has bells that are rung every evening, keeping a promise to King Charles IV of Spain when he sent the bells to the mission in 1777. The mission also has a small historic museum with religious artifacts. Mission Santa Clara de Asis, Santa Clara University, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95953. Phone: 408/554-4023.

KALAMAZOO VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE Kalamazoo Valley Museum Kalamazoo, Michigan Kalamazoo Valley Museum is a museum of science, technology, and history operated by Kalamazoo Valley Community College in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It began in 1927 as a local school district museum with natural history specimens, ethnographic materials, and antiquities. The museum’s collection consisted largely of corals, shells, and rocks donated by a local resident in 1881 to the school board. In 1991, the museum was transferred to the Kalamazoo Valley Community College with the passage of a countywide property tax to cover the museum’s operations, followed by a fundraising campaign for a new building that opened in 1996. In the process, the museum space doubled to 60,000 square feet, the collection increased to 50,000 objects (mostly historical,
anthropological, and archaeological materials), and greater emphasis on contemporary science and technology. Today, the museum offers a wide range of exhibits, but is best known for its extensive and popular hands-on science and technology exhibits, planetarium, and Challenger Learning Center. Visitors have been able to enjoy such experiences as touching a tornado, turning physical energy into electrical energy, learning about the human body, finding out the secrets of mathematics, making a simulated mission to the moon, and seeing the celestial wonders in the planetarium. The museum’s other exhibits include the history of Southwest Michigan, a 2,300-year-old Egyptian mummy, the Civil War, and natural history displays. Annual attendance is 130,000.
