Exhibition: Fifty Golden Years (MU Museum of Art and Archaeology )


Columbia Tribune (Sara Agnew)


Founders Saul and Gladys Weinberg would be pleased to learn their original collection of 17 objects for the MU Museum of Art and Archaeology has grown to include more than 14,000 artifacts from around the world. Today, the museum is the third-largest visual arts museum in Missouri and attracts more than 30,000 visitors each year.

This fall, the museum at 1 Pickard Hall on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus celebrates its 50th anniversary with “Fifty Golden Years: Highlights from the Permanent Collection.” The exhibit is not thematic, but rather a cross-section of the museum’s major collections. The show opens Saturday and runs through Dec. 23. It will include art from the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and near East, Europe and America from the medieval period to the present and the non-western world of Asia, Africa Oceania and pre-Columbian Americas.

There is a photograph of Benton Kidd, Associate Curator of Ancient Art, holding a sistrum from ancient Egypt, which will be on display with other items seldom seen.
