Shrem Museum - New Musem to be built at UCDavis

On Saturday there was a groundbreaking ceremony for the Shrem Museum at UCDavis.  It was a very impressive event and it is very exciting that a new museum of art is being built in our area.  It will be across the street from the Mondavi Center.

Due to the philanthropic efforts of Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem a fabulous new art museum is in the making.  The support for the project is quite widespread and includes local artists and member of the community.  Isn't it amazing what can happen on a university campus when there is a deep concern and commitment to preserving university art collections.
