Birthday Presents For A 60th Birthday Celebration

Published on September 20, 2018

The University dedicated the Ackland Art Museum — then called the William Hayes Ackland Memorial Art Center — on September 20, 1958. So 2018 marks the Ackland’s 60th birthday.

And what’s a birthday without presents? Friends and supporters of the Ackland have given gifts — from African art to European master prints to photography to Asian art to contemporary art and more — in celebration of that birthday, and those will be on display in the exhibition “Birthday Presents” in fall 2018.
