We are the Â鶹´«Ã½ College Museum of Art.
The opening of the Faulconer Gallery in the Bucksbaum Center for the Arts in 1999 generated a dramatic expansion of the presence of art on campus and in the community of Â鶹´«Ã½.
The new facility and the College’s commitment to promoting the arts and enhancing the quality of life produced major exhibitions of national and international art and artists. The gallery also provided space for intensified building of the art collection and for increased outreach initiatives. These developments made the art collection and the Faulconer Gallery valuable assets for research, teaching, and engagement in Iowa and the region.
The museum also encompasses the Print and Drawing Study Room in Burling Library, 1111 Sixth Ave., Â鶹´«Ã½. The print room was opened in 1983 and houses the College’s collection of works on paper, which includes pieces by Rembrandt van Rijn and Pablo Picasso. Faculty and students use the space to study original works of art from the collection in their teaching and learning.
In 2019, we changed our name to the Â鶹´«Ã½ College Museum of Art in order to better encompass everything we do in both spaces.
