Arts Across Duke Map
With the opening of the Rubenstein Arts Center, Duke can now name a robust Arts District along Campus Drive from East Campus towards West Campus. This creative corridor stretches from the Center for Documentary Studies and Smith Warehouse near the graffiti tunnel, to the Ruby and the Nasher Museum of Art at Anderson Street, and around the corner to Duke Gardens.
