Whenever possible the Daum Museum produces catalogs to accompany its major exhibitions. These publications typically contain an explanatory essay by the exhibition curator, an allied scholar or art critic, numerous illustrations, biographical information, and an exhibition checklist. Exhibition publications allow the Daum to document its most important undertakings and share this information with an audience that may not have the opportunity to visit the exhibition in person.
For more information about a listed catalogue, call (660) 530-5888 or email info@daummuseum.org with your request.
