Duke Faculty
For Faculty
As the first stand-alone museum on Duke's campus in 80 years, the Nasher Museum offers a range of programs especially for Duke faculty and their students, and many of the museum's spaces have been designed with those audiences in mind. Duke classes are taught in the Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Family Lecture Hall and the university classroom - also great meeting spaces for student groups. Art storage areas are designed to function as "study storage" facilities, so that students and faculty can easily and comfortably examine objects in the collection not on view in the galleries. (For more information, contact Anne Schroder, PhD., curator of academic programs, at 684-5203 or anne.schroder@duke.edu.)
All visitors benefit from the museum's ongoing work with Duke students and faculty. The permanent collection displays feature selections from holdings of classical antiquities, European Medieval art, European and American paintings, African art and ancient American (pre-Columbian) art. Museum curators work in consultation with Duke faculty members to organize works of art from these collections around various themes.
Study Storage
The Nasher Museum of Art is committed to an exhibition program that takes advantage of the extraordinary intellectual resources and diverse environment of its research university setting. One of the three gallery spaces displays work from the museum's permanent collection, organized in thematic exhibitions to complement coursework and reflect the scholarly interests of Duke faculty.
Professors, classes and individual students have access to permanent collection art objects, paintings and works on paper that are not on display but in storage. For more information please contact Carolina Cordova at 919-684-8067.
