Have you ever driven by Andrew T. Crawford's sculpture “Split” on East Campus Road and wondered what a giant metal screw taller than a human is doing on the side of the road? “Split” is part of the museum’s collection, one of several sculptures you can find outside the building, on the grounds. Over the years, it’s become a directional landmark.

Ten years ago, Larry and Brenda Thompson donated 100 works to the museum from their prominent collection of works by African American artists. They funded an endowment to support a new curatorial position at the museum to study works by Black artists, both American and international. Their gift has resulted in major change in both exhibitions and acquisitions.

Since the 1970s, the Friends of the Museum have raised money to support its mission and spread the word about its exhibitions and programs, but the organization has changed over the years.
