The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State is the largest art museum collection between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and the most significant academic art museum in the state of Pennsylvania. A key element of Penn State’s land-grant mission of teaching, research, and public service, the Museum is a vital and accessible cultural resource for Penn State’s students, faculty, and scholars, as well as for all visitors to and from the Centre region, the Commonwealth, and beyond. Through its world-class collection, exhibitions, programs, and outreach, the Museum is a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant forum for authentic arts experiences and cultivates meaningful dialogue about today’s most potent ideas and pressing concerns. The free-admission Museum celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022, and opened its doors to the new state-of-art building located at The Arboretum at Penn State on June 1, 2024. Please note the Curtain Road location is closed.
