The University Museum
The
University Museum is located in John Sutton Hall, a beautifully
restored and nationally registered historic landmark built
in 1875. The mission of the Museum is to bring the material
history and arts of the region together in an environment that
encourages exploration, dialogue and enjoyment.This mandate is
based on the belief that art and history are unbounded and essential
to our understanding of who we were, who we are and who we want
to be. The
University Museum is dedicated to providing leadership in the
development of quality collections, exhibitions, and educational
and public programs that challenge how we see ourselves and the
social and natural world in which we live. The museum exists within
the larger context of the College of Fine Arts and The Lively
Arts at IUP, which promotes a culturally diverse world of art
in its presentations, studios and classrooms. To achieve these
goals, the Museum annually mounts a series of original exhibitions,
related cultural events, and educational activities designed to
appeal to the university and the local and regional community
that it serves.These shows generally concentrate on contemporary
and historic fine and folk art and material history. Special
multi- and inter-disciplinary exhibits explore the rich historic
and contemporary cultural heritage of the region. Rotating displays
from the Museum's permanent collection and exhibits of student
work from the graduate program in fine arts and design at IUP
round out the programming schedule The Museum is essential to
the University and the community. It is a natural extension of
the educational and cultural enrichment that IUP brings to Indiana
County and provides unique opportunities to explore the art and
cultural history of the region.
