Colby Museum
The Colby College Museum of Art invites faculty members to collaborate on academic engagements to bring students into our galleries for experiential learning and transdisciplinary dialogue. Regardless of discipline, curricular engagements in the museum emphasize critical thinking and creativity. The museum also connects faculty members with the artist and scholar fellows in residence at the Lunder Institute for American Art.
