World Arts, Local Lives: The Collections of the Fowler Museum at UCLA
Fall of 2014 marked the release of a publication exploring the history of the Fowler Museum and its vast collections: World Arts, Local Lives: The Collections of the Fowler Museum at UCLA. This lavishly illustrated volume demonstrates the scope and depth of the remarkable global holdings of the Fowler and has been produced as part of the ongoing celebration of the institution’s fiftieth-anniversary year. It recalls many of the highlights of the Museum’s formation, focusing not only on collections development but also on a long history of programmatic innovation.
