Krebs Center for the Humanities

The Krebs Center is a research resource unlike any other at the College. Its collection of medieval, Renaissance, and early modern art, objects, and furniture offers students and faculty direct access to primary material for humanistic inquiry. The Center supports faculty mentorship of student research and fosters collaborations across disciplines, grounded in the conviction that the humanist tradition speaks directly to the questions shaping our world today.

The Krebs Center brings students into direct contact with the humanities. Courses across disciplines use the house and collection as a classroom, examining paintings, sculpture, and objects in person. Lectures, events, and research opportunities extend that engagement beyond course credit, equipping students to think rigorously about art, history, culture, and the present moment.

Throughout the year, the Krebs Center hosts lectures, symposia, and public events that bring urgent humanistic questions to the College and the broader community. Speakers and programs address the intersections of art, history, technology, and culture, connecting local audiences to conversations with national and global reach.
