First-Year Seminars provide an excellent opportunity to introduce students to the Museum as a site of engaged conversation, scholarly research, creative and expository writing, self-expression, and professional development.Our user-friendly database makes the Museum’s collection of more than 5,000 works of art from around the world accessible for exploration and study by faculty, students, and the general public. Faculty and students often take lead roles in curating these exhibitions. Temporary exhibitions––frequently selected to support courses from across the curriculum––focus on a range of time periods, cultures, academic disciplines, and topics.Recent visits include courses in Arabic, Astronomy, Biochemistry, Classics, Economics, Gender, Sexuality, & Feminist Studies, History, Neuroscience, and Religion.
The Museum’s staff is available to help faculty from all fields select works of art that will catalyze rich dialogue among students. Note: We are happy to facilitate remote or in-person collaborations. Through its dynamic temporary exhibitions, permanent collection representing many cultures and periods, and educational programming, the Museum invites visitors of all ages to look carefully, think critically, and engage in vigorous discussion. As a teaching museum, the MCMA offers students and faculty opportunities for research, experiential learning, and professional development. The Museum is the largest classroom on campus and functions as an applied-learning laboratory for the humanities, arts, sciences, and languages. Independent studies and senior theses, faculty-curated exhibitions, student professional development, quiet reflection, and engaging public programs––these are just a few of the opportunities available at the Museum.
