STANFORD UNIVERSITY MUSEUM OF ART
 
 
MISSION STATEMENT
 
THE MISSION OF THE STANFORD MUSEUM IS TO SERVE AS A VITAL CENTER OF
LEARNING AND RESEARCH FOR STUDENTS AND FACULTY WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME,
STIMULATING AND EDUCATING THE BROADER COMMUNITY.  WE AIM TO DEVELOP AN
APPRECIATION FOR THE ARTS OF ALL CULTURES IN ALL OUR VISITORS.  THE
MUSEUM'S CURATORIAL STAFF PURSUES THESE GOALS BY ACQUIRING, PRESERVING,
EXHIBITING AND INTERPRETING ORIGINAL WORKS OF ART.  WE KEEP LARGE PORTIONS
OF OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION ON VIEW AT ALL TIMES, ORGANIZE CHANGING
EXHIBITIONS, AND ARRANGE FOR INTERPRETIVE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS ACADEMIC
COURSES, GALLERY INSTRUCTION, LECTURE SERIES, AND FILMS.  WE ARE DEEPLY
COMMITTED TO THE RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION OF OUR COLLECTION AND TO THE
TRAINING OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO SEEK CAREERS IN THE VISUAL ARTS.
