The Museum was founded on the belief that the study and appreciation of original works of art is an indispensable part of a Middlebury education.
With the collaboration of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community partners, we seek to make the Museum an inclusive place that sparks curiosity, fosters a respectful exchange of ideas, and promotes creativity in many different forms.
The first-floor galleries highlight the Museum’s permanent collection, while the second-level galleries present a rotating schedule of special exhibitions that explore a wide array of global cultures and ideas. We encourage you to return often to see what’s on view.
This installation of Middlebury’s art collection invites visitors to join a conversation sparked by objects created throughout time and around the globe. Arranged thematically to highlight similarities as well as differences across cultures, the reinstalled galleries represent steps in the ongoing journey toward a more inclusive and accessible presentation of the many stories art can tell.
