11 a.m. - Noon | Goucher’s Lost Museum: A Short History of Wonder

---

Batza Room, Athenaeum

Take a Class at Goucher! Have you ever wondered what it is like to discover a Chamber of Wonders? This class explores the collection of art, artifacts, and natural history that once made up the Museum of the Woman’s College of Baltimore, a nationally recognized museum that was, once upon a time, the jewel in the crown of Goucher’s (formerly) downtown campus.

Goucher’s diverse collection, which includes artifacts, art, and natural history such as ancient Egyptian mummies, specimens of flora and fauna, an articulated horse skeleton, glass flowers, Native American pottery, and Neo-Babylonian cuneiform tablets, was first amassed by Dr. Goucher in the 19th century, displayed at the Woman’s College of Baltimore (later Goucher College), and disassembled when Goucher’s campus moved from Baltimore City to its suburban campus in Towson in the early 20th century. Some works, including a signed print by Picasso, came to our collection in later years, thanks to the generosity of Goucher’s alumnae/i. In 2015, what remained of the collection—some 3,000 objects—was unpacked for the first time in nearly 80 years.

What became of the contents of Goucher’s “Lost Museum”? Travel back in time with Professor April Oettinger, the chair of the Visual & Material Culture Program and the Barbara Beacham Cushing ’51 Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, for a behind-the-scenes peek at selected objects from Goucher’s Art and Artifact Collection and a discussion of the ongoing, student-led project to recover, research, catalog, exhibit, and preserve the contents of Goucher’s Lost Museum for future generations.
