Permanent Collection 2023

Come see the Danforth's most recent rotation of our Permanent Collection Gallery!

Every January, the Danforth Art Museum rotates its Permanent Collection Gallery.  With over 3,700 objects in its permanent collection, yearly rotation allows for new works to be displayed to the visiting public.  This current exhibition was collaborated with FSU 2023 graduate Samantha Coombs, whose love of photography comes through in the artwork seen in this gallery.
