For our museums to Wayne Lempka earn their keep, to justify their existence, they must demonstrate on a daily basis why they matter.The Art Collections Manager objects in their care must give pleasure to visitors while helping them understand themselves and their Judi Esmond Education Coordinator world more fully. It is this magic-the chemical reaction, the powerful epiphany-that takes place between Amy Pickering art and viewer that makes museums worth all the effort. Visitor Services Coordinator —William J. Hennessey, Director, Chrysler Museum of Art Cynthia Dill / Bob Wagner Preparators The urge to collect is thought to be universal.

Anderson Marna Anderson Edward Coykendall of 159 works of American art that included works by artists such as George Linda Babb Bellows, Childe Hassam, and Eugene Speicher. By 1964 when the College Art Gallery opened to the Eric Brown public, the collection also included many fine examples of art and artifacts from diverse world James Cox Kurt Daw cultures, spanning millennia. By 1982 when I assumed directorship of the College Art Gallery, the Karen Dorsky collection included approximately 1,400 works of art, and between 1982 and 1995 it more than Noah P.
