New to the Collection
New works of art are added to the Museum of Art's permanent collection each year due, in large part, to the generosity of individual donors. The Museum of Art strives to add works to the permanent collection that enhance its existing holdings and that will be useful for teaching, research, and exhibition.
Donations of works that meet the needs outlined in the Museum of Art's collection guidelines are welcome for consideration by our Collections Committee.
