Return to Devil's Island
Though once scattered throughout the buildings of various departments across the campus of the University of Missouri-Columbia, twenty-four paintings of scenes from Devil's Island have been reunited and given a permanent home within the collection of the Museum of Art and Archaeology. The paintings, all the work of Francis Lagrange, a prisoner on the island, depict life within the penal colony.

The Civil War in Missouri
The Civil War in the United States is a fascinating era in our history. This collection focuses on the Civil War in Missouri. Many of the books are in special collections and cannot be checked out. Our hope is that making these books more accessible will prove of value to those interested in this period of Missouri history.
