Permanent Collection and Special Exhibits

The permanent collection at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art boasts many jewels - including the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionism, one of the most important gifts of French Impressionism ever given to a University. The museum also has extensive holdings of American, American Indian, and Asian art, photography, Eastern Orthodox icons, and Persian miniatures, as well as strong collections of modern and contemporary art. The museum’s collection of southwestern art, including works by the Taos Society of Artists, is among the most important in any public museum.
