Highlights & Collections

The Muscarelle Museum of Art collection dates back to 1732 when the third Earl of Burlington gave the College of William and Mary a portrait of the physicist, Robert Boyle.  Since then, the collection has grown to over three thousand works of art and stands as a major artistic resource for the College and the region.

The Museum's second floor galleries are devoted to showcasing highlights of the permanent collection. Changing exhibitions of works on paper from the collection are featured in the first floor Herman Graphics Art Study Room.

Two large galleries on the 1st floor are devoted to national traveling exhibitions and loans from private collections.

Permanent collection includes 

• European and American portraits from the 17th through the 19th centuries;
• original drawings, prints, and mixed-media works from the 16th through the 20th centuries representing American, European, and Asian artists;
• African art; and
• Asian and Native American ceramics.

Exhibits & Special Events

Selections from the permanent collection are rotated in 2nd floor gallery.
