The Object Library
The Object Library, which is o the first floor of The Graduate Center, CUNY, offers both material objects and books as starting points for knowledge.
Somewhere between a sculpture gallery and a library, The Object Library displays selected objects alongside curated books on related themes. These material artifacts provide the starting points for conversation and shared speculation and, chosen carefully, they convey a taste of what goes on inside the Graduate Center. The visitor will be able to sample scientific knowledge and the latest thinking in the humanities in a relaxed environment with a focus on material culture.
Visit The Object Library website here to view objects and learn more.
