The Bowdoin College Museum of Art is proud to be one of two pilot projects for the Yale University Art Gallery Collection-Sharing Initiative, funded by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant allows six college art museums to borrow works from YUAG's encyclopedic collection for use in specially developed exhibitions and related coursework.
The Bowdoin College Museum of Art's project focuses on early twentieth-century American and European art and is supported by a loan of thirty-four works from Yale. Methods for Modernism: Form and Color in American Art, 1900-1925, running April 8 through July 11, 2010, has enabled Bowdoin to expand its curricular possibilities. Faculty from a range of disciplines have incorporated Methods for Modernism into their teaching. The most ambitious cross-curricular undertaking has involved English 105: Introduction to Poetry and Art History 252: Modern Art.
