Special 70th Anniversary Website
Daily updates thru Feb 4...
The Weatherspoon Art Museum turns 70 in 2011! That’s right—seven decades of presenting exciting and thoughtful exhibitions, providing countless educational opportunities for all, and building a collection with a national reputation. We have a rich calendar of offerings planned throughout the year, and we sincerely hope you’ll join us as often as you can. Among the highlights you can look forward to are our anniversary exhibition in February,
Weatherspoon Art Museum: 70 Years of Collecting, which celebrates the Museum's 70th anniversary year with an exhibition featuring 100 highlights from its nationally recognized permanent collection.
Visit our special edition
70th Anniversary Website to get a sneak-peak of the exhibition, the new museum handbook and some of the stories that make up the Weatherspoon's unique history. We will be adding new Selected Works from the new
Museum Handbook each day until the opening in February.
