Since opening in 2000 the Tang Museum has presented a series of major interdisciplinary exhibitions originated and co-curated by Skidmore faculty.
Exhibitions at the Tang are open to the scholarly interests of professors and students from all disciplines — sciences, humanities, the arts.
Teaching in the Tang Museum — reading, responding and interpreting the exhibitions and collections — told through the voices of Skidmore faculty.
Teaching and Learning with Museum Exhibitions: An Inter-Institutional Approach Supported by a grant from The Teagle Foundation.
The Teagle Collaborative Project seeks to develop new best practices in exhibition-based pedagogy across the disciplines and to integrate them into the curricula of four collaborating institutions: Colgate University, Hamilton College, Skidmore College, and the University at Albany, State University of New York.

Classes from all disciplines at Skidmore may reserve the Kettlewell Print Study Room and Permanent Collections Storage Area. Faculty interested in viewing objects should contact Tang staff at least two weeks in advance to plan their visit.
