As a part of Institutional Membership, college partners receive benefits and collaborative learning opportunities. These partnerships have provided opportunities for a diverse range of collaborations that benefit the Museum’s visitors, students, and faculty, and the city as a whole. These collaborations include: the development and presentation of exhibitions, often with companion installations that feature work by students; courses at schools that make use of the Museum’s galleries and artworks to encourage exploration of new ideas, histories, or cultures; and internships that provide opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in the museum field.
