Galleries 9, 10 & ll
William & Mary Collects III, the first special exhibition to be unveiled in the newly expanded Muscarelle, will display significant works of art in a wide variety of media on loan from alumni and friends of the university.
The first installment of William & Mary Collects coincided with the opening of the Museum in 1983, and the second installment was held in 2003 for its twentieth anniversary. William & Mary Collects III observes the expansion of the Museum and our 40 years of service to William & Mary, as well as the numerous individuals who have been integral in helping us achieve our mission during that time.
Featuring ceramics, drawings, paintings, prints and sculpture, the exhibition showcases the remarkable scope of art collected by alumni and friends throughout the years. Culled from both private collections and donated works by alumni, some of which have never been on view, William & Mary Collects III reveals an extraordinary array of media, styles and time periods that have captivated these collectors.
