About the Burke Museum and Speaker
Newly opened on October 12, the New Burke is a flagship facility for the Washington State Museum of Natural History and Culture. The New Burke turns the museum “inside-out,” breaking down traditional museum barriers and inviting visitors to be part of a working research facility. The new, 113,000 sq. ft. building is 66% larger than the former facility. Nearly 60% of the museum is accessible or visible to visitors (compared to just over 30% in the former facility). Twelve visible, state-of-the-art labs and workrooms, along with an artists’ workshop will serve more students and researchers.
Admission fees will be included in registration costs.
Ashley Verplank McLelland serves as the Rights and Reproductions Manager of Ethnology at the Burke Museum. She is a professor specializing in Native Art of the Pacific Northwest.
