The Mount Holyoke College Art Museum (established 1876[1]) in South Hadley, Massachusetts, is located on the Mount Holyoke College campus and is a member of Museums10. It is one of the oldest teaching museums in the country, dedicated to providing firsthand experience with works of significant aesthetic and cultural value.[2] The works in the museum's collection can be searched on the database maintained by the Five College Museums/Historic Deerfield.[3]
Working in conjunction with the Five College museums, its collection includes contemporary works from Asia, Europe, and the United States, as well as classical Egyptian, Greek, and Roman works.[4] Other periods include medieval and Renaissance art.[5] The collection was inaugurated by the purchase of Albert Bierstadt's Hetch Hetchy Canyon (oil, 1875) by Mrs. A. L. Williston and Mrs. E. H. Sawyer in 1876.[2]
In addition to the permanent collection, the museum offers multiple rotating exhibitions each year.[6][7][8]
In March 2016, the museum was named one of the "35 Best College Art Museums" in the nation by Best College Reviews.[9]
