moreOngoing exhibits dominate the first and second floors of the Logan Museum. The centerpiece of the first floor is the Visible Storage “Cube” surrounded by cased exhibits that detail the history and purpose of the museum’s collections. The second floor Robert G. Shaw Gallery showcases changing exhibitions curated by museum staff and Beloit College students and faculty.
New exhibits are on the way.
COVID-19 presented the Logan Museum with an opportunity to re-imagine how we construct and share exhibit content. Pivoting to an online format presents new learning and engagement opportunities for students, faculty, and staff and ensures exhibit content is more broadly accessible. We hope our new online exhibits inspire collaboration, dialogue, and knowledge production during and after the current pandemic.
