Note from the interim director

This note from Pamela White, the UIM interim director and director of the Pentacrest Museums:

I appreciate the concern that members of the public have shown for the Museum of Art and the wonderful artworks in our collection. I can assure everyone that the artworks are safe. The University has made remarkable efforts to protect all of the buildings along the west bank of the Iowa River, and we are confident that the UIMA building is protected. We particularly want to thank all of the volunteers who came out to help fill and place sandbags along the river. After the waters have receded, we look forward to moving back into the building and once again being able to share our collection with the public.
