Object Lab makes visible how works of art are used in courses across the curriculum. Professors deeply embed art into their teaching, students get extended access to the art, and the public gets a glimpse into liberal arts learning. This is the second iteration of Object Lab with different works pulled from the WCMA collection for a new array of Williams courses.
