Description:

The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, one of the largest and most distinguished university-based museums in the nation, is located on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The Zimmerli Art Museum houses more than 60,000 works, including Russian and Soviet Nonconformist Art from the acclaimed Dodge Collection, American art from the 18th-century to the present, and six centuries of European art with a particular focus on 19th-century French art. The Zimmerli is also noted for its strong holdings of works on paper, including prints, rare books, drawings, photographs, and original illustrations for children's books.

Throughout the year, the Zimmerli presents world-class exhibitions with an international focus.
