The University of Richmond Museums support inquiry, discussions and engagement for all campus audiences. Working collaboratively with faculty from any field of study, Museums+ presents objects from the collection that inspire compelling conversations with students about key topics and concepts from their courses. Through this initiative, the University Museums invite classes into the galleries to explore how collection objects spark conversation with the images, texts and data sets they study in the classroom. Museums+ also aims to give community visitors a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how visual objects can support the student learning experience across academic disciplines.

Classes participating in the Fall 2025 Museums+ exhibition include: Gender, Sexuality, and the Body with Professor Bailey Troia (Sociology); Civil War and Memory with Professor Jim Broomall (History); Making America’s Wars with Professor Corey Payne (Sociology); and The Bible as Literature with Professor Rhiannon Graybill (Religious Studies).

Museums+ is organized every semester by the University of Richmond Museums and is curated by Martha Wright, Curator of Academic and Public Engagement.
