Class Sessions in the Zuckert Seminar Room
The Zuckert Seminar Room is a gallery space and smart classroom in the Museum that can be reserved for the close study of artworks from the permanent collection that are not on view in the galleries. The Museum of Art has exceptionally strong holdings of prints, drawings and photographs, which are ideal media for teaching. With the help of curatorial staff, a professor generally selects up to 20 objects from the permanent collection that relate to a class topic. Museum staff is available for assistance throughout the visit, can provide teaching resources and can support class discussions and assignments.
The Zuckert Seminar Room is equipped with a digital projector, a computer with internet access, and a lectern. The capacity of the classroom is twenty students. To accommodate classes of larger sizes, we suggest scheduling multiple visits.
