“Archaeology, Artifacts and Art” Cloud Lecture Series: American University Museums

Sponsored by Simon Suen Foundation, the “Archaeology, Artifacts and Art” Cloud Lecture Series will be held from November 2022 to August 2023. The Academy will curate a series of lectures on archaeology, history, artifacts and art in collaboration with experts and scholars locally and abroad, including esteemed researchers art collectors as well as connoisseurs. With the splendor of the pantheon, we endeavor to embark on a journey of discovery with international academics and students from different backgrounds.

University Museums are essential for the teaching of art history.  This lecture introduces the history, collections, guiding principles of American university museums and the role that they play in the teaching and research of art history by using Princeton University Art Museum as an example.  It also discusses the opportunities and issues that university museums are facing on today’s campus.
