university museums
Academic art repositories
University museums are collections housed and maintained by colleges and universities, typically serving both educational and public purposes.
They range from small specialized collections focused on a single discipline to major institutions rivaling municipal museums in scope and quality.
Many began as teaching collections for students but have grown to attract outside visitors and scholars.
The university museum houses one of the finest collections of ancient Near Eastern artifacts in the country.
