The LSU Museum of Art recently celebrated two major milestones: a state-of-the-art storage upgrade, supported by Winifred and Kevin Reilly, Jr., and the new Cary Saurage Object Lab, a space for academic engagement with works not on view. These enhancements advance the museum’s mission and strengthen its impact on campus and in the community.
