ORAL HISTORY
PROJECT
Umlauf Oral History Project
The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden + Museum was the 2019 recipient of The Baylor Institute for Oral History's Community Oral History Grant.
For this exciting project, "The Gift: Preserving Charles Umlauf's Legacy Through Intergenerational Storytelling," an oral history team at the UMLAUF captured interviews and insights from Charles Umlauf's family, students, museum employees and volunteers. By capturing anecdotes and valuable information from those who knew Charles Umlauf best, the museum can offer further information about the artists' creative practices and personal life.
The UMLAUF hopes to one day share the captured oral histories by introducing audio guides to the outdoor sculpture garden for museum visitors.
Special Thanks to The Baylor Institute for Oral History and project interviewers for partnering with us on this important endeavor!
