The Clark Humanities Museum at Scripps College is pleased to announce the exhibition Campus Tour: The Buildings and Gardens of Scripps College on display from January 28 through February 22. Included in this exhibit will be original landscape and architectural plans, vintage photographs, and architectural models. Clark Humanities Museum is located on the Scripps College campus in Claremont, and is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
Curated by Professor Bruce Coats, Campus Tour will focus on the Scripps "look"-an academic setting of beautiful gardens and serene architecture-which has been carefully crafted over the last seventy-five years. With an extraordinary master plan that combines intimate courtyards and open lawns with grand vistas and fanciful building forms, the "Mediterranean Revival" campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has evolved and expanded with deliberate attention paid to the intentions of original architect Gordon Kaufmann. For more information on this exhibit, please call (909) 607-3606.
