“We have art in order not to perish from the Truth”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
We occasionally break from our focus on the technology and management of these “cities-within-cities” and dwell briefly on the primary business of the academy. Academic museums and galleries provide a setting for conveying inherited wisdom to the next generation of cultural leaders. We include in this gallery examples of architectural art of the buildings themselves. Click on images for more artist and location credit.
