Temporary Viewing of Specific Works

Duke faculty may request that the museum make specific works of art temporarily available to students to support course themes or objectives. Works of art would be on view within the Great Hall or Lecture Hall for facilitated, safe viewing. For example, students might approach works of art one by one, for close viewing. To arrange for a special viewing please email Ellen C. Raimond, Ph.D., Assistant Curator of Academic Initiatives, at ellen.raimond@duke.edu. These opportunities are limited.

Keep in Mind

The museum is not open on evenings and weekends, even by appointment. Our classrooms and Study Storage rooms will not be available to classes, faculty or students this spring semester.

An Arts Haven for the Duke Community

Since its opening in 2005, the Nasher Museum of Art has become the milestone for Duke’s recent Arts Initiative. The museum’s outstanding success has generated excitement that has attracted donors among alumni and the local community, who have not only supported the museum’s many programs, but also fueled a university-wide arts focus. Students now havemany more opportunities to experience the arts at Duke than ever before.
