Permanent Collections

The College of Wooster Art Museum collections have grown from gifts in the early years of the College’s formation to a collection of over 8,000 objects spanning 4,000 years of world history! In addition to ethnographic objects from around the world, the museum holds drawings, prints and paintings from the fifteenth century to the present.

Donations continue to comprise the largest part of the collection, but, with the establishment of the Raymond Machesney Art Acquisition Endowment in 2018, we now aim to strengthen and diversify our holdings by seeking out works that reflect critical contemporary ideas and social concerns.
