Duke University

Duke University Review

A stroll along the tree-lined streets of this campus, founded in 1924, is a lovely way to spend a few hours. The university, known for its Georgian and Gothic Revival architecture, encompasses 525 acres in the heart of Durham. A highlight of any visit is the Nasher Museum of Art (2001 Campus Dr., Duke University, 27705. 919/684-5135. www.nasher.duke.edu), which displays African, American, European, and Latin American artwork from various eras. The collection includes works by Rodin, Picasso, and Matisse. Tours of the campus, available during the academic year, can be arranged in advance.
