Permanent Collection
Today, the Museum’s Collection offers a snapshot of the history of art in New England and beyond. Works on view in this gallery reference Early American painting, the turn-of-the-twentieth century Boston School, mid-century figurative expressionism, and an active contemporary community. The Permanent Collection continues to remain organic, growing and changing to reflect the role of the Museum as a part of a University and in art historical scholarship.
