Abstract:

The Black Mountain College Museum, located in Asheville, honors a unique institution that lasted only twenty-four years but is remembered as an innovative experiment in higher education. Established in 1933, the college never had an enrollment of over one hundred even in the best of years, yet fifty years later, its faculty and student body reads like a who's who of cultural visionaries.
