 The
Mount Holyoke College Art Museum is one of the oldest teaching
museums in the country. Its founding in 1876 was marked by the
gift of Albert Bierstadt's majestic painting Hetch Hetchy
Canyon. Since then, the collections have
grown to approximately 14,000 objects ranging from antiquity
to
the present.
Dedicated to providing
firsthand experience with works of significant aesthetic and
cultural
value, the Museum develops exhibitions and programs that aim
to provide aesthetic enjoyment, stimulate inquisitive looking,
and
encourage understanding of the artistic achievements represented
by a diversity of cultures.
