The story
The Yager Museum of Art & Culture is located on the campus of Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York and is open to the public during the academic year; summer hours vary. The museum features archaeology collections from the Upper Susquehanna area of prehistoric and early Native American items. Other collections include ethnographic North and South American Indian artifacts, including baskets, pottery, clothing, rugs, jewelry, and masks, craft items from Micronesia, and fine art from the United States, Europe, Russia, and Asia. Among recent acquisitions are over 150 photographs and prints by Andy Warhol, given by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts as part of their Photographic Legacy Program Archived March 4, 2016, at the Wayback Machine. Also on Hartwick's campus is the Foreman Gallery Archived October 8, 2015, at the Wayback Machine, a contemporary art gallery with several changing exhibitions per year.
