Weinberg taught at the University of Missouri, where he played a pivotal role in revitalizing the Department of Art History and Archaeology. Gladys Davidson Weinberg (1909–2002) was a distinguished archaeologist renowned for her expertise in ancient and medieval glass. She served as assistant curator of ancient art at the Princeton Art Museum, where she met her husband, Saul Weinberg. Later, she held positions at the University of Missouri's Museum of Art and Archaeology, including curator of ancient art and assistant director. Together with Saul, she received the Gold Medal for Distinguished Archaeological Achievement from the Archaeological Institute of America in 1985.
