Travis O’Nan, a senior from Paducah, Kentucky, studying metalsmithing, looks over landscape artwork from Kay M. Pick Zivkovich, a professor in the school of art and design, on Friday in the University Museum.

O’Nan, who periodically visits the museum to check out new exhibits, said the museum enriches culture and people’s lives on campus.

“It archives valuable work,” he said.
