A donation of $5 million to a university in the northeast Ohio will enable construction of a museum centering on the Native American artifacts and research.
University of Akron President Matthew Wilson said that the donation from Jim and Vanita Oelschlager will be utilized to construct The Oak Native American Museum, as a part of the Institute for Human Science and Culture at the school's Cummings Center for the History of Psychology.
The new museum will provide research opportunities and also community access to the Oelschlagers collection of the 800 Native American artifacts.
No opening date for the museum has been set, which will feature the galleries, a reading room, classrooms and also a workshop.
Vanita Oelschlager said the museum will make a private collection available to the students and also to the general public.
