The Museum of Natural and Cultural History is showcasing a collection of Eastern Oregon photos by late University architect Garry Fritz.
The exhibit, “The Long View: Eastern Oregon Landscapes by Garry Fritz,” will be on display through Dec. 22.
Fritz, a longtime University architect, was responsible for planning and designing buildings across campus. He contributed to the development and renovation of 25 percent of campus’s total square footage. A graduate of the University’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts, Fritz planned and designed Deschutes and Willamette halls, the Knight Library addition, the Law Library, the Lillis Business Complex and the expansion of Autzen Stadium. Fritz died in June 2004 of cardiac arrest.
Framed prints of the displayed photographs are available for purchase and all proceeds will benefit the museum and the Garry B. Fritz Memorial Fund at the Oregon Community Foundation.
The museum is located at 1680 E. 15th Ave. and hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, except major holidays. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and people ages 18 and under, and $8 for families (two adults and up to four children). Museum members, University faculty, staff and students are admitted free.
