I South Main ... NO 2-3277... Ann Arbor By KAY WARMAN The University has six museums on the campus, four of which are housed in the University Museum Building, guarded by the two fa-; mous lions. The other two are the University, Museum of Art in Alumni Me- morial Hall and the Kelsey Archa- eology Museum next to the admin- istration building. The Exhibits Museum is the only one of the four in the Mu- seums Building whichis open to the public. Many of the exhibits, however, are borrowed from the museums of Anthropology, Paleon- tology and Zoology which also share the building. First Museum The first museum' on campus was the building which was re- cently razed, the Romance Lan- guages Building. In 1925, $900,000 was appropriated by the State Legislature for !the present Mu- seums Building, which opened in 1928 on a site donated to the uni- versity. The public part of this building is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 'from: 2 *p.m. to 5 p.m. At the present time the Exhib- its Museum is undergoing reor- ganization and remodeling. The fourth floor exhibit hall is being partitioned into the halls of an- thropology, astronomy, gemology, and geology: The latter three of these are completely new depart- ments to the museum. On the second floor of the mu- seum are the paleontology and zoology exhibits and. on the third are exhibits dealing with the Wild Life of Michigan. Use Rotunda Special exhibits of various types are featured every 'few months in the Rotunda on the first floor. These are often borrowed from sources outside the university. Most of the exhibits are set up with the intention of being "tem- porarily" permanent. By that it is meant that they will be permanent for several years: The staff is now in the process of replacing every exhibit and hopes to complete this project within the next few years. When they get caught up with their work, they will try to put new exhibits everywhere on a ro- tation basis, so that no exhibit will remain longer than the time it takes to replace all exhibits. Done. by Staff Much care and preparation is involved in setting up exhibits. All the work is done by members of the museum staff and materials are either bought, borrowed or made by the staff. Plans for dis- plays are all discussed with the de- partment involved. Exhibits are arranged and or- ganized to attract, the public and to held non-scientific-minded peo- 'ple understand and appreciate their efforts. The exhibits also aim to be use-+ ful to students in the literary col-i lege courses in natural sciences., Professors and instructors oftenI accompany their students in sec- tion to view specific exhibits and explain them in relation to their course. Other times students are sent on their own with question- naires to answer from their own observations.- Tours Given During the year thousands of school children and other groups from various communities come to the museum for guided tours. The most popular exhibits with the children are the ones on American Indians and fossils, ac- cording to Irving G. Reimann, di- rector of the exhibits. Recently the Spitz.'Planetarium has been opened and half-hour demonstra- tions are given between 2 and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Stars and planets are projected in various positions on a dome in the ceiling and viewers are given a chance to see some of the com- chnet e oeo h oplexities of the solar system. At present most of the fourth floor of the museum is devoted to the collections belonging to the Anthropology museum. According to director James B. Griflln, the primary functions of the museum are "the care and preservation of these collections, research using them, and dissemination of know- ledge through publications and lectures." Search World The four divisions of the mu- seum, Great Lakes, Orient, Ar- chaeology and Ethnology gather materials for their collections from all over the world. Cases and cabi- nets of Chinese silk robes, pottery fragments and Kashmir cloths are a part of the public displays from this museum. The Paleontology Museum, set up in 1837 by the Regents as a "Cabinet of Natural History," now consists mainly of a research col- lection of fossils from all periods of history and ,areas of. the world. Prof. Lewis B. Kellum, of the ge- ology, department, curator of the entire museum of paleontology, sponsors many research projects with far-reaching influences in ev- ery area of natural science. There are six curators of different divi- sions of this museums who work with him. The Museum of Zoology is the largest of the research museums, and one of the three leading uni- versity museums in the United States in size, value, and qualifi-. cations, according to Prof. Theo- i dore H Mubbell of the zoology department. It has 13 curators who divide their work between teaching, research and museum duties. Six Divisions This museum has six divisions, four for vertebrate animals and one each for insects and mollusks. The staff members of this mu- seum study and interpret the be- havior of various birds, animals, fish, and insects. They also per- form many special experiments and studies of these creatures. The UMyiseum , of Art exhibits many paintings, sculpture works and other various kinds of art throughout the years. Some of these displays are permanent while others are changed about once a month. Get Loans Loans are continually received from the Detroit, Toledo, and Cranbrook museums ,as well as from other museums and collec- tions throughout the country. The University museum bor- rows from two national circula- tion agencies, the National Fed- eration of Arts, and the Smith- sonian Institution. They also of- ten arrange exhibits for these two groups to send to other ex- hibit places. Many exhibits are co- sponsored with other museums such as the one with Albion or Michigan State, and are displayed in various places. Collection Expanding At the present time the museum is expanding its permanent col- lection. Several new acquisitions will be announced during the summer, Prof. Charles Sawyer, di- rector, said. These will include valuable additions to both the historic and contemporary art departments. Although some research of and publication on exhibits does go on, the main purpose of the mu- seum is to set the stage for in- struction in humanities as a whole as well as art. Classes from both the architecture and design school and the fine arts depart- ;menu of the literary college. use the various exhibitions for dis- cussion and reference for visual ideas and themes, or symbols for their own work. The museum has three full time staff members and six or more part-time ones. Exhibits ar e changed about once a month and there are usually several interest- ing exhibits going on at one time. The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays for public use. 11 THE ALLENEL HOTEL " MORE BOOKS - more individual titles from which to choose than any other store in middle-USA. * BETTER BOOKS - a carefully-selected and discriminat- ing stock of the good and great books of this and all the past centuries of publishing, representing most fields of man's search for knowledge and self-expression.
