5.0 (730 reviews) Temporarily closed - Closed until further notice Spent Ranking #1 in Princeton Art Museums
a truly memorable experience
The Princeton University Art Museum is one of the nation's finest art museums, housing collections of over 72 ,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years of world history and all the world's major cultures. The Museum also presents special exhibitions and educational programs throughout the year. Admission is free. The main Museum building is closed for construction of our new Museum, designed by architect Sir David Adjaye and anticipated to open in late 2024. While we build a new Art Museum for Princeton, visit us downtown–in two galleries that feature changing exhibitions and in our retail store, which offers handcrafted, artisanal works and much more.

Hidden ( seriously) gem
The museum is located inside the campus and there are no signs to get there, you have to ask . We end up being late for the ( free) guided tour , the eternal feast and the art of banqueting in Chinese art was awesome,the lower level is the most interesting one with a large Mayan, Asian and old Greek collection. Definitely worth going

Provence in Princeton
I have visited this wonderful little university museum many times to see a special exhibit, but never to see pieces from the collection. I had heard that the museum had a number of significant paintings by French Impressionists and decided to check it out. I would call the collection "small, but mighty." Displayed on the second floor, there are works by Cezanne, Van Gogh (see photo), Monet, Sisley, Pizzaro and others. If you love the French Impressionists, you will love the beautiful examples at this museum. It should be noted that most of the paintings are on "long term loan from the Pearlman Foundation." How long is "long?" I don't know. Check with the museum before you go to see if they are still on display.
