The Princeton University Art Museum is the Princeton University's gallery on art located in Princeton, New Jersey. Founded in 1882, it now houses nearly 60,000 works of art that range from antiquity to the contemporary period. Its permanent collections concentrate on the Mediterranean regions, Western Europe, China, United States, and Latin America.
The Museum has a large collection of Greek and Roman antiquities, including ceramics, marbles, bronzes, and Roman mosaics from Princeton University’s excavations in Antioch. Medieval Europe is represented by sculpture, metalwork, and stained glass. The collection of Western European paintings includes examples from the early Renaissance through the nineteenth century, and there is a growing collection of twentieth-century and contemporary art.
The Museum is also noted for its Asian art gallery, which includes a wide collection of Chinese calligraphy, painting, ancient bronze works, jade carvings, as well as porcelain selections.
