Stop and visit hidden campus treasures
Museums and exhibits on campus showcase things like art, the study of life and Kansas basketball tradition
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics displays Kansas' athletic programs, including its rich basketball history. The Natural History Museum and the Spencer Museum of Art also feature free displays on campus.

Dotted around campus are buildings that many students overlook. But inside these hidden treasures are plenty of sights worth seeing. And best of all, they're free. Here are just a few examples.
Spencer Museum of Art
Located behind the Kansas Union, the museum is home to 22,000 pieces, from prints and photographs to sculptures and quilts. The 20/21 Gallery, a 30,000 square foot space that includes pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries, was unveiled in mid-July. Crews had worked on the gallery since December. A hanging work made of human hair is just one of the 10,000 pieces that make up the gallery.
"I think this will be a pretty spectacular way to start the school year," said Bill Woodard, Spencer Museum of Art director of communications.
Woodard also said that the museum isn't just for art students. He said it's a great place to take a date because it's free and is close to the Kansas Union, where couples can bowl or get coffee.
"Students should take great pride and not just use this as a place for class," Woodard said.
Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center
Take a close look at the carvings in the stone archway surrounding the door of Dyche Hall (where the museum is located) and you'll see what
some believe to be an early representation of the Jayhawk. Dyche Hall was completed in 1903 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
"There's nothing else like it on the hill," said Jen Humphrey, communications director for the museum.
The museum showcases the study of life, and houses live snakes, fish and an active beehive that visitors can view (from behind glass, of course).
"KU students who are from Kansas and especially those that aren't can get to know this area they're living in," Humphrey said.
Booth Family Hall of Athletics
Anyone who has visited Allen Fieldhouse since January 2006 has seen firsthand the addition to the home of the men's and women's basketball teams.
The building contains six different exhibits that document and display the history of all Kansas athletics, not just basketball. Among the artifacts on display are trophies and old and current uniforms.
The Story of Sport exhibit even highlights those University sports that have been dropped over the years, such as field hockey, gymnastics and boxing.
Candace Dunback, curator at the Hall, said both current and former students can gain a deeper appreciation for the mascot and University traditions, such as the Rock Chalk Church.
"A lot of our students have families that are alums. Their families appreciate it," Dunback said. "They can get an idea of their roots."
