Teaching Facilities & Accessing Works from Storage

David Dempsey, Associate Director of Museum Services, discusses frame restoration with students

With only 3-5% of the museum’s 22,000-object collection on view at any given time, access to the collection is greatly increased by the museum’s special teaching facilities, where works from storage can be displayed temporarily for class use.

• The Winslow Teaching Gallery (lower level) – art works from storage may be placed on temporary display for classes; available during museum hours.
• Museum classrooms may be reserved for class discussions and close examination of art works during class time. These classrooms are equipped with slide and digital projection.
• The Cunningham Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs (second floor) – facilities for classes and individuals to view works on paper and their records.
