The Museums at W&L holds exhibitions, permanent galleries, lectures, classes, and events throughout the year. These events, along with the collections, provide ample opportunities to integrate museum learning into academic life.
University Students

University Faculty
Washington and Lee faculty use museum collections to enhance class curricula. Museum staff can arrange handling sessions, lectures, or a tour for classes.
K12 and Community
