MSU Museum to open Native American photography exhibit

On Thursday, the MSU Museum will be unveiling The Wanamaker Collection: A Tribute to Susan Applegate Krouse, a new exhibit illustrating American Indian culture.

Sponsored by the MSU Department of Anthropology and American Indian Studies Program, the display will feature more than 8,000 images taken between 1908 and 1923. It is known to be one of the largest collections of photographs of American Indians created by a single photographic enterprise, according to a release.

The collection serves as a special tribute to former adjunct curator of anthropology Susan Applegate Krouse. During her studies at Indiana University, Krouse cataloged the collection, making it more accessible to viewers across the world. During her time at MSU, she was the associate professor of anthropology in the College of Social Science and director of the American Indian Studies Program.

The exhibit will be available for viewing Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. through April 22.
