Permanent Exhibition
The Kelsey's reinstallation of its permanent exhibition in the beautiful new William E. Upjohn Exhibit Wing features highlights from our collections, including a colorfully painted Egyptian mummy coffin, magical amulets from the ancient Near East, an array of glass vessels, Greek pottery, Roman sculptures, and a unique large-scale watercolor representation of the famous Villa of the Mysteries murals from ancient Pompeii.

Below is a brief video introduction to the Kelsey's reimagined permanent installation.

The Edwin E. Meader and Mary U. Meader Special Exhibition Gallery
Now showing in the Meader Gallery:

Mary Upjohn Meader: Pioneering Adventures over Africa

This special exhibition features some of the dramatic aerial photographs that Mary Meader took over Egypt in 1937, before modern development had encroached on the pyramids and other ancient monuments. Also on view are family photographs of Ed and Mary Meader, the benefactors who so generously endowed the Kelsey's William E. Upjohn Exhibit Wing.
