For Faculty





The museum is a lab

Since opening in 2000 the Tang Museum has presented a series of major interdisciplinary exhibitions originated and co-curated by Skidmore faculty.

The museum is a classroom

For both students and faculty, the Tang is a space that embraces discourse and exploration. The museum supports Skidmore faculty as a rich learning resource through exhibitions and the collection.

Reading and Responding to Exhibitions

Exhibitions at the Tang are open to the scholarly interests of professors and students from all disciplines — sciences, humanities, the arts.
