Where We Learn

Knox College Special Collections include the Famulener Collection of prints and drawings by old and modern masters—a valuable resource for all art students, and subject of exhibitions and research projects by art history students.

Art History courses are taught in the lecture room of the new Whitcomb Art Center, which has been designed specifically for art lectures and features the latest technology for projecting digital images from ARTstor and the department's own growing collection of digitized visual resources.

The collection of art books in Seymour Library has been carefully built with an eye to current and historical movements. Art History classes also include special field trips every term to major art museums in Chicago and St. Louis.
