Works on Paper Study Room Refurbished

Thanks to significant philanthropic support and a lead gift from Heather and Paul Haaga Jr., Class of 1970, the Art Museum has recently refurbished its Works on Paper Study Room for use both as a study space and as an informal gallery for prints, drawings, and photographs. The room will now be open to the public through guided visits on Thursday evenings and on weekends.

The new installation Intaglio Techniques explores printmaking techniques and will be on view through July 17.
