Collections

• 

  University Art Collection

  From its modest beginnings in the 1960's, the University Art Collection has grown from 127 objects to include nearly 6000 works of art. The university's enduring philosophy is that pieces in the collection appear throughout the campus – in signature buildings, libraries, the medical complex, meeting rooms, the President's office and residence, and on the university's malls and lawns. Integrated into public spaces, the collection embraces and enhances the everyday lives of people on campus and in the surrounding communities. Check out the online collection or take a tour.
