The University of Richmond Museums support inquiry, discussion, and engagement for all campus audiences. Working collaboratively with faculty from any field of study, we present objects from the collection in Museums+ that inspire compelling conversations with students about key topics and concepts in their courses. Through this initiative, the UR Museums invite classes into the galleries to explore how collection objects spark conversations with the images, texts, and data sets they study in the classroom. Museums+ also aims to give community visitors a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how visual objects can support the student learning experience across academic disciplines. We encourage visitors to return to this gallery later this semester to read the wall labels that will be written by students participating in these courses.
