The University of South Carolina’s McKissick Museum fosters awareness and appreciation for the diversity of the region’s culture, history, and natural environment. The museum fulfills the university’s mission by engaging in campus educational and enrichment activities, acting as a repository for relevant collections, and through its graduate museum certificate program. It accomplishes these aims through original research about southern life, material culture, natural science, and decorative and fine arts, holding exhibitions, issuing publications and offering public programming. It collaborates with the university community and outside constituents in documenting, collecting and interpreting the Southern experience.
