AMAA@UST Walking Tour
Our walking tour "Selections from the American Museum of Asmat Art" continues on our St. Paul Campus. Objects are displayed in the O'Shaughnessy Educational Center (OEC) lobby gallery, the first and second floors of the O'Shaughnessy-Frey Library, the first floor hallway of the John R. Roach Center for Liberal Arts (JRC), and the Brady Educational Center (BEC) lobby gallery. It is recommended that people begin the tour in the OEC lobby gallery, proceed to the library, then go to JRC, and finish the tour over in BEC. Reversing course, starting at BEC and ending in the OEC lobby also works well. Completing the walking tour requires covering approximately half a mile.
One Asmat shield is on display on our Minneapolis Campus in Schulze Hall. This work is located on the second floor near the skyway to the School of Law.
People interested in viewing a wider selection of objects or arranging a guided tour of the displays are encouraged to contact Dr. Julie Risser by phone 651-962-5512 or email jarisser@stthomas.edu.
