The Study Room is a hybrid gallery-classroom for the close study and analysis of works from the Tweed’s collection. Each semester UMD faculty and students from across academic disciplines animate this space through lively discourse, collaborative learning practice, research, and the generation of exhibitions, installations, programs, and responsive assignments.

The Study Room supports the museum’s ongoing commitment to academic engagement, object-based teaching, pedagogical innovation, and the creation of communal spaces for students to participate in sustained and meaningful experiences with art and one another. We invite all museum visitors to join the conversation and engage with the diverse array of objects and interdisciplinary ideas presented in this active, experimental space.
