Notable college art museums and collections?

Clearly, we need to visit Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

@tk21769 - Thanks for the list. I’m glad to see that the Weisman at U-M was featured - I think the Korean furniture collection is unparalleled among college museums.

@Erin’s Dad - We hardly knew anything about Case Western before our visit, and came back as proselytizers.

@momrath - I second that. Williams/The Berkshires has more than its fair share of world-class cultural assets.

The LACs in SoCal suffer in comparison. I don’t believe that Oxy has a permanent collection of visual art, much less a building. That would be a dealbreaker for me.

On a related note, the keeper of the Booth School’s collection, Dr. Canice Prendergast, is also credited with developing the auction model that enabled Feeding America to schedule deliveries to regional food banks more efficiently. Talk about a Renaissance man.
