You can take a break from pretending to take notes in the lecture hall this semester because chances are, you’ll learn more by visiting the university museum. Since the early years of college education in this country, university museums and galleries have scored major commissions, built collections that rival some of the world’s best museums, and become premier spaces for open-minded, experimental exhibitions. They’re all firmly dedicated to enriching students’ experiences, and best of all, they’re usually free. Check out our list of The 20 Best College Art Museums, and see if your school made the cut.
