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.
