Collection

Purdue University Galleries’ permanent collection is comprised of over 6,000 objects from across the world and through time. With artworks as diverse as ancient Peruvian textiles through 21st century American printmaking, this resource is open and available to all visitors by appointment. Our website is constantly being updated to reflect ongoing scholarship.

The collection reflects the interests, tastes, and history of our generous donors. The majority of the works of art held by the university were acquired through donations and bequests. We owe a great debt of gratitude towards their generosity in ensuring that future generations of Purdue Boilermakers have access to world class art. We hope you enjoy exploring our collection.
