Princeton University Art Museum Map (2015)
The Princeton University Art Museum is more than just a gallery—it’s a campus gem where art, architecture, and history converge.
The Princeton University Art Museum houses over 112,000 works of art spanning from ancient to contemporary periods. It supports academic study and public engagement through exhibitions, lectures, and education programs. Located on the Princeton campus, the museum is free and open to the public year-round.
Don’t miss the ancient Greek ceramics collection or the contemporary installations tucked beside Prospect House. The museum’s skylit galleries and the outdoor Putnam Collection of Sculpture offer quiet moments between packed itineraries.
Afterward, grab a coffee at Small World Café just steps away, or unwind under the trees near McCosh Walk.
