Widely acknowledged as one of
the most important art collections at an American liberal
arts college, the Smith College Museum of Art holds nearly
25,000 works of art, with particular strength in 19th- and early 20th-century
art. From its establishment in 1879 as a contemporary American
collection, Smith's holdings have served as an important teaching
tool as well as a significant public and scholarly resource. More
than 45,000 patrons visit the museum every year. The museum re-opened
to the public April 27, 2003.
