A Celebration of the Legacy of George Washington Carver
Join University Museums as we celebrate the legacy of one of our most storied alumni, George Washington Carver. Several interesting discoveries (or perhaps rediscoveries) of Dr. Carver's time on campus will be revealed as we continue to celebrate his story.
Backstage Pass to Stephens Auditorium Art Curtain
One of two chances to see the curtain, Silver Code, up-close! Join University Museums' staff at Stephens Auditorium (also March 2, noon to 2 pm) for an open house and tours of the ongoing work. These open houses are free and open to the public, tickets are not required.
Fine Silver (Metal Clay) Jewelry Class
Although metal clay looks and feels similar to clay, it becomes 99.9% silver after firing in a kiln. Stamp it, carve in it, sculpt it--the possibilities are endless! Learn to use this versatile and beautiful material to make a pendant or earrings.
Performance: Love and Honor: Iowa in the Civil War
April of 2014 celebrates the 150th anniversary of the ending of the Civil War. Iowa sent a greater proportion of its men between the ages of 15-40 than did any other state. This is the story of four of them and three women who loved them.
