The collections of the Princeton University Art Museum, comprised of over 72,000 objects spanning all media and millennia from the ancient to the contemporary, have been assembled since its founding in 1882 largely through the generosity of its many donors—both alumni and friends. Many donors choose to make a gift of art—either during their lifetimes or by bequest—to enhance the Museum’s collections and support its mission as a teaching and research institution, so that future generations might experience the power and enjoyment of great works of art.

The Art Museum welcomes gifts of art consistent with the focus of the collections and the Museum’s commitment to excellence. To inquire about making a gift of art, you may begin by consulting the staff directory and contacting the appropriate curator, who will be pleased to speak with you.
