The Bayly Art Museum has 3 to 5% of our 8500 object collection on exhibition at any one time. As a University museum, one of our goals is to make our collections more accessible to faculty and students. We export our collection database and images to a search page at our website. Faculty can then arrange for their classes to study collections from storage in our new study gallery.
