LAWRENCE, Kan. — Police have recovered a stolen panel from a Native American art exhibit at the University of Kansas, weeks after other panels in the exhibit were vandalized.
One panel from the art installation outside the Spencer Museum of Art was reported stolen on Wednesday. University police Deputy Chief James Druen said the panel was found on Thursday and police are speaking to a person of interest in the case. Four other panels were vandalized on Sept. 4 and were taken down to be repaired.
Museum and university officials said they are determined to reinstall the exhibit, called “Native Host.”
