| As noted in the October 2002 WPA Press: In September 2002, the
Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois - Urbana completed
renovations on its Moore Gallery of Decorative Arts. The expansion of
the Gallery quadrupled the size of its already impressive display of
American art pottery. Sixty-two pieces have been drawn from storage and
now join some twenty pots already on permanent display. Nearly all of
the displayed pottery descends from a study collection that was
assembled in the mid- to late- ‘teens by the University's Department of
Ceramic Engineering.
For those wishing to visit the
Krannert Art Museum in Urbana IL,
regular hours are:
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat.
9am–5pm

Closed on Mondays.
Between terms and during holidays the hours change. Please check
