It aims to enhance academic excellence, build broader and more diverse audiences for museum exhibitions, and strengthen and appreciation of, and facility for, humanistic inquiry. It further drives collaborations with Skidmore faculty, artists and visiting scholars, whose diverse perspectives on the Tang Teaching Museum collection offer fresh interpretations of artworks and enhance scholarship. This publication is a document of the grant’s second year and is a model of interdisciplinary and collaborative learning and thinking in the academic museum.
