Hartwick college

The Yager Museum of Art & Culture at Hartwick College began with Willard and Marion Yager's bequests of his collection of American Indian artifacts, art and print material, and of a substantial endowment for supporting the display and study of his collection and for research and education in American Indian studies. Since that time, the Museum has grown to include collections concentrated in archaeology, ethnography and the fine arts.

In keeping with the vision of its founder and with the mission of the College, The Yager Museum of Art & Culture is now an educational institution dedicated to the collection, preservation, interpretation and exhibition of art and artifacts. The Museum reflects the academic interests of the College and is committed to presenting them in appropriate campus settings in informative, scholarly and integrative ways. Through these and other means, the Museum plays a major role in educating the students, faculty and staff of the College and local and regional communities as well as a larger audience beyond.
