Thank you AJCU @jesuitcolleges for this article on the #JesuitEducated blog. We are excited to participate in the #JesuitMuseums campaign.
AJCU's #JesuitMuseums series is back for the summer! Today, learn about Richard Misrach's 'Desert Fire #77,' a chromogenic print from the @deSaisset @SantaClaraUniv that was featured in the museum's first student-curated virtual exhibition: medium.com/jesuit-educated/j… #JesuitEducated

Our museum colleagues will appreciate this one! We asked SCU students about their process of curating virtual exhibitions for the museum's website as part of the course Art History 140: Photography in the U.S. Here's one response:
#museumwork #exhibitions #universitymuseum
ALT Red square with white text that reads: "One thing I have learned from this project is that creating a museum exhibition takes a lot more time and effort than just hanging some art on the gallery walls. I did not realize how much work happens before getting to the point where the art is actually hung up." - Participating Student Curator

SCU students from a variety of majors enrolled in Art History 140: Photography in the U.S. and contributed to the student-curated virtual exhibitions currently featured on our website. When we asked them about the process on student responded:
ALT Red square with white text reading "ARTH 140 has opened my eyes to the world of studying photographs and of appreciating the deep rooted history that is ingrained in photography itself. This was my first art history class I have ever taken, so the process came with a learning curve!" -Participating Student Curator
When asked about their experience in Art History 140: Photography in the U.S. and the culminating virtual exhibition project with the de Saisset, one student responded:
#arthistory #photography #perspective
ALT Red square with white text that reads: "From this class I have learned how to critically analyze elements of art and look at different photographs with a holistic perspective. I think that I learned how to become a better consumer of information and also further understand pieces of art that have underlying meanings or messages." -Participating Student Curator
Seven student-curated virtual exhibitions launch today on our website! SCU undergrads developed these exhibitions, drawn entirely from the de Saisset Museum's permanent collection. scu.edu/desaisset/exhibition…

The museum's History Collection includes objects related to Native California, the Mission Period, the California Ranchos, and the early days of Santa Clara College as pictured here in John Sykes' 1903 painting.

We stand with our Asian and Asian American neighbors in the face of the racist and xenophobic violence they face as scapegoats for the COVID-19 virus. We refuse to be silent bystanders. We vow to speak up if we witness discrimination. #stopdiscriminasian stopdiscriminasian.org/
We opened our doors as "the de Saisset Museum and Art Gallery" in November 1955, which means our museum (and our building) will be 65 years strong this fall! 😀 🎉 (image c. 1956)
