Walsh Gallery recently added three major collections to Google Arts and Culture, the D\u2019Argenio Coin Exhibit 1 (Early coins),<\/a> the D\u2019Argenio Coin Exhibit 2 (Roman coins)<\/a>, and an exhibit of Native American Basketry<\/a>.\u00a0 Google Arts and Culture<\/a> is a rapidly growing site that displays highlights from over 2,000 museums and private collections. Its app, which can be downloaded from Google Play or the Apple Store, allows the visitor to interact with the artwork through AI features like virtual tours and exhibits.<\/p>\n

The D\u2019Argenio Collection, which consists of 427 rare coins from ancient Greece, the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and Byzantium was donated to the university by Ronald D\u2019Argenio MS\u201976\/JD\u201979. The collection allows us to trace the relationship of the earliest Roman coins of the Republican period to its immediate Greek predecessors.\u00a0 It includes coins with images of Julius Caesar, the first Roman leader to have his portrait represented on a piece of currency.<\/p>\n

We also see his imperial successors over the next three centuries represented, including the infamous Caligula and Nero.\u00a0 Byzantine coins in the collection from the fourth to fourteenth centuries AD demonstrate the changes in design \u2013including the introduction of full-faced portraits\u2013 once the capital of the Roman Empire shifted from Rome to Constantinople.\u00a0 The exhibit can be accessed through Google Arts and Culture Walsh Gallery\u2019s main page<\/a> and the coins can be found through searches in Google Arts and Culture\u2019s main interface, allowing the coins from Seton Hall\u2019s collection to be seen in the context of numismatics collections around the world.<\/p>\n

Google Arts and Culture also displays highlights from Seton Hall\u2019s one-time University Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology Collection, now stewarded by Walsh Gallery.\u00a0 This museum contained an extensive collection of Native American material culture, collected and sometimes excavated by archaeologist J. Kraft.\"\" Kraft was an expert in the Lenape tribe of New Jersey, but his collection encompassed materials from Native American peoples across the Americas.\u00a0 The basket exhibit shows some of the finest examples of the craft in Seton Hall\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n
