We actively collect, borrow, and loan objects to support faculty teaching and research interests and provide access to materials for object-based courses, internships, and exhibition.
Opportunities include access to materials for hands-on “laboratory” experiences that introduce students to object conservation, research on the provenance of an object, and writing for exhibitions.
We invite proposals for innovative and engaging ways to share and interpret the collection, often in partnership with the Program in Museums and Society.
