$25 million gift bolsters UNC’s Ackland Art Museum

By Jessa O’Connor

Soon UNC’s Ackland Art Museum will be the home of one of the most significant collections of Rembrandt’s drawings. They are part of a $25 million gift to the university from alumnus Dr. Sheldon Peck and his wife, Leena. University officials and museum curators say this contribution puts the Ackland firmly on the map as a notable destination in the national – and even global – art scene.
