OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Endowed
with a starter collection of artworks, The
John Young Museum of Art opened in the
renovated, historic Krauss Hall on the
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus on
February 24, 1999.
The purpose of the Museum is to enhance the
knowledge and appreciation of art, and to
further art education at the University for
the benefit of students and the community.
The Museum is also a space for research
conducted by art historians, archaeologists,
and other scholars.
Greeting the visitor at the entry of the
Museum is a 1976 portrait of John Young by
the eminent contemporary artist and Stanford
University professor Nathan Oliveira.
Emeritus professor Thomas Klobe of the Art
Department, UHM College of Arts and
Humanities, designed the original
installation for the museum gallery.
In the courtyard, water flows down a rock
wall into a water garden designed by Betsy
Sakata. The reflecting pool hosts a Thai
Buddha image that once graced John Young's
home on the slopes of Diamond Head. |
