University of Arkansas Museum

The University of Arkansas Museum, established in the 1870s, is readying itself for its biggest exhibition to date! With over 7.5 million artifacts and objects, there’s a lot to experience. Pete speaks with Laurel Lamb, Curator of Education and Engagement at the University of Arkansas Museum.

Two decades ago, the University of Arkansas Museum in Fayetteville was shuttered, with collections relocated to a secure storage facility northwest of main campus where dedicated staff have continued to conserve and build collections — accessible to scholars, students and the public only appointment. But now a new virtual collections portal has opened, initiated by Laurel Lamb, curator of education and engagement.
