Hartwick College is closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19. Following the College’s Spring Break, all Hartwick classes will continue via remote instruction only.
Effective March 20 at 5 p.m., all campus-based activities are suspended until further notice. Unfortunately, this means that the Museum will be closed and public programs are cancelled until further notice.
We understand this news may be disappointing. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back to the Yager as soon as we are able.
What’s more, the Museum functions as a hands-on learning environment where Hartwick students integrate academic knowledge with practical skills through Museum Studies courses to create exhibitions and programs for the public.
Our Mission:
The Yager Museum of Art & Culture, a center for exploration of our artistic, archaeological, ethnographical, historical materials and culture heritage, serves as an experiential learning lab that engages students in the museum’s efforts in collecting, preserving, researching and interpreting collections according to the highest standards of professional practice.
Our Vision:
Through engaging exhibitions and programs that capture the imagination of students and the public, the Museum facilitates contemplation and discussion of objects and ideas from the past to spark creativity, insight, and inspiration about diverse cultures, including realities from the past and prospects for the future.
We are on Facebook and Instagram.
Beginning February 4, 2020, the Yager Museum will be open Tuesday – Saturday 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m, when Hartwick College is in session. The Museum will be closed beginning Saturday, March 14 through Saturday, March 21 during the College’s Spring Recess. The Museum offices are open Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Admission is free.
