Material Culture and Public Humanities: Featured Resources
This Research Guide supports the Material Culture and Public Humanities program at Virginia Tech which prepares graduates to interpret material culture and engage communities within informed historical and cultural frameworks, so that they are prepared for a wide range of careers in museums, historical societies, and community and cultural organizations.
The Art & Architecture Library maintains a collection of exhibition catalogs with a focus on leading museum exhibits, diverse artists, and new media art. The catalogs are discoverable through Discovery. Use the subject heading "exhibition catalogs" as shown in the image below to search for this material.
