Director's Welcome

Welcome to the Princeton University Art Museum's Web site. Here you will find accessible and current information about our collections, exhibitions, programs, and publications. We look forward to offering you the opportunity to participate in classes based on museum exhibitions and collections and to visit special Web-based projects developed by museum staff and guest curators. It is our hope that visiting the museum through the Web site will be helpful and enjoyable, and that it will encourage you to visit the art museum and experience firsthand the collections, exhibitions, and events.

The museum is celebrating its 125th anniversary. The publication of the Princeton University Art Museum Handbook of the Collections, the first such guide in over twenty years, and the exhibition An Educated Eye: Princeton University Art Museum Collections, on view through June 15, 2008 commemorate this milestone. We hope you enjoy your online visit and plan a trip to the museum and its magnificent collection soon.
