What Lincoln Center is to New York and Kennedy Center is to Washington D.C., Krannert Center is to the Midwest - a magnificent showcase for the performing arts.  Krannert Center differs from its East Coast counterparts in that it is first and foremost a place for education.  A professional laboratory for the University dance, theatre, opera, and music departments, the Center also hosts internationally famous artists such as Ravi Shankar, Emmy Lou Harris, Herbie Hancock, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Mark Morris Dance Group, and is home to the Champaign - Urbana Symphony and Sinfonia de Camera.  The Promenade gift shop, Intermezzo cafe, and Ticket Office can be found in the vast lobby connecting the four main theatres.

The Spurlock Museum celebrates the people of the world with featured galleries of Africa, Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia and Oceania, the Americans, and the Ancient Mediterranean.  Special factilities include a focus gallery for temporary exhibits, learning center, auditorium, and educational resource center.
