    And Gladly Teach: The Museum as a Classroom

    Each year, nearly 2,000 objects from the Museum’s ever-growing art collection are requested by professors and students for discussion, research, writing, art making, and exhibition projects. This exhibition features works of art, from ancient to contemporary, that continually enrich the learning experience for all of our audiences across campus and community.

    This exhibition is presented in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the opening of Grinnell College's Bucksbaum Center for the Arts.
