The Cantor Center also houses a permanent exhibit on the Stanford
family’s collection. Leland Stanford Jr.’s collecting hobby was the basis for
the creation of the museum after his death and the founding of the university.

four years ago. The show was an experiment, posing questions about the Cantor's
collection that visitors often ask, and encouraging the public and the staff to
talk to each other about the works, about behind the scenes museum activities.
