The museum is one of the most inspiring places on campus and home to an amazing collection of over 8,000 works of art—the largest permanent collection of any liberal arts college on the West Coast. The collection includes Old Masters and modern American and European prints and drawings; Asian textiles; Japanese, Ancient American, and modern ceramics; and California regionalist paintings.
