NEW ART MUSEUM PART OF UCA
University Art MuseumThe completed University Center for the Arts will include the first art museum at Colorado State University. Opening the museum is a long process that involves archival packing, moving, acclimatizing and installing works of art. This slow process will protect works of art, especially those composed of organic materials like wood, from damage that can occur with sudden climate changes. Mark your calendar now for the April 2, 2009 opening of the museum! Read more and take a virtual tour of the museum
