The Washington State University Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art reopened to the public this week and is featuring two new exhibitions. Visitors are required to follow campus-specific pandemic guidelines, and program-ming will continue to be held online.
The first exhibit, âFollow the River: Portraits of the Columbia Plateau,â features the museumâs Worth D. Griffin Collection of Native portraiture alongside items from Plateau tribes, including the Palus (Palouse) and Nimiipuu (Nez Perce), whose homelands the WSU Pullman campus is located upon.
The second exhibit, âUnder the Same Sun and Moon: New Acquisitions from the Collection,â showcases new acquisitions from the museumâs permanent collection. Over the past five years, the museum has added significant works of art, and this will be the first time many of them will be on display, according to a news release from the university.
