Now the Museum is working with SAS to build an ongoing partnership. The N.C. Museum of Art is on the cutting edge. On Monday, it unveiled its new computer and video learning center in the Museum's Mary Duke Biddle Education Gallery. It provides a database of over 1200 works of art. The screening room allows visitors to select from a variety of art-related videos by simply pushing a button, no computer experience necessary.
Assistants are nearby to help users get started.
The Museum plans to keep the center current by continuing to develop new programming so that it will grow alongside the Museum and its collection of art. The new initiative aims at enhancing opportunities for African Americans in the environmental profession.
