Our collection areas include ancient, medieval, Renaissance, 17th century, 18th century, 19th century, modern, Asian, and arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The museum also houses European and American decorative arts and furniture as well as works on paper, including drawings, prints, and photographs. Another part of the collection features the Hoosier Group of Indiana painters.

The collection provides a valuable cultural resource for the university, the community, and the state. Some of our works have been loaned for major exhibitions at other museums, including the Musee du Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
