About University Museums at the University of Delaware

The University Museums at the University of Delaware serve as a shared name for the university's collections in American art, mineral specimens, and Pre-Columbian ceramics. The original web address now redirects visitors to the Special Collections and Museums pages on the university library site, which the source describes as an ongoing migration, so some older museum content may not appear at the new location.
