Well...If you are going to be in Palm Springs you have to visit the Palm Springs Desert Museum in downtown Palm Springs.  While there is no direct connection a College or University it is a wonderful art and natural science museum. Exhibits focus on the local tribes, the history and environment of the area as well as art from the Western United States. On Feb. 27 a new traveling exhibit "Arte Latino: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" will open to the public.  Being the Collections Manager may bias me a little but I am sure you would enjoy your visit to the museum. Please feel free to contact off-list if you want more information or visit our website at www.psmuseum.org.

Subject: Museums to visit in NY and CA

Busman's Holiday.
I have a couple of road trips coming up and would like suggestions for
museums to visit that have a connection to a College or University.
Specifically, history/archaeology/anthropology museums that have college
students as their main visitor focus.
Geographically, I'll be in Palm Springs, CA and Albany, NY. I'll have a
car and will travel a couple of hours to visit museums.
You're welcome to contact me directly.
Thanks.
