The Zuckert Seminar Room is a gallery space and smart classroom in the Museum that can be reserved for class sessions to closely study artworks from the permanent collection that are not on view in the galleries. The Museum of Art has exceptionally strong holdings of prints, drawings and photographs, which are ideal media for teaching. With the help of curatorial staff, a professor generally selects up to 20 objects from the permanent collection that relate to a class topic. Museum staff is available for assistance throughout the visit and can support class discussions and assignments.

The Zuckert Seminar Room is equipped with a digital projector, a computer with internet access, and a lectern. The capacity of the classroom is twenty students. To accommodate classes of larger sizes, multiple visits can easily be scheduled.

If this is your first time working with the Museum’s collection, please contact Sarah Montross, Andrew W. Mellon Post-doctoral Curatorial Fellow. During an initial meeting, you can discuss course goals and the curatorial staff can help select relevant objects for your class session(s).

The majority of the Museum’s collection is not on view in our galleries, but most works can be accessed for teaching in the Zuckert Seminar Room. An overview of the Museum’s collections can be accessed online.

For more information, see Researching the Collection.

To schedule a class session in the Zuckert Seminar Room, please contact Andrea Rosen, Curatorial Assistant. To avoid scheduling conflicts, we advise you to schedule classes as early in the semester as possible.
