After her husband's retirement from active teaching, Georgana Falb Foster began thinking about a permanent home for her collection. In 1994 she met Lutgendorf when he lectured at Mount Holyoke, and was delighted to learn of the South Asian Studies Program at her alma mater. In 1998 she formally donated her collection to the UI Museum of Art, and also arranged to donate her personal papers and field notes to the Iowa Women's History Archive. M.C. Ginsberg Objects of Art, Inc. of Iowa City is the corporate sponsor for events at the UI Museum of Art during the 2000-2001 season, through the University of Iowa Foundation. The UI Museum of Art, located on North Riverside Drive in Iowa City, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is free.
Public metered parking is available in UI parking lots across from the museum on Riverside Drive and just north of the museum.
