"Museums are an asset to any community. Iowa museums are plentiful and add to core values of their respective communities. University Museums at Iowa State University strives to educationally engage and delight visitors both locally and regionally with active programming, artist visits, visual literacy curriculum, and changing exhibitions. I hope you celebrate Iowa Museum Week by visiting any of the University Museums facilities and campus public art collection and enjoy the 30,000 permanent collection objects we care for and educate on."
- University Museums director Lynette Pohlman
