The Neuberger Museum of Art, located on the campus of Purchase College, State University of New York in Westchester County, is a major visual arts center and vital cultural resource. The Museum engages and inspires diverse audiences by actively fostering the study, appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of modern art, African art, and the art of our time. The Neuberger Museum combines the scale and excitement of a city museum with the charm of a country setting.

The Neuberger Museum of Art opened to the public in late 1974 with a gift of 108 works of art given by financier/ philanthropist/art collector Roy R. Neuberger from his personal collection of 20th century American art. The Museum’s permanent collection now features major works by American and European modern artists, including Milton Avery, Romare Bearden, Alexander Calder, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Edward Hopper, Amedeo Modigliani, Georgia O’Keeffe, Henry Moore and Jackson Pollock. Visitors can also discover the Museum’s extensive collection of African art featuring masks and sculpture created for both ceremonial and functional purposes. The Neuberger presents more than a dozen changing exhibitions each year dedicated to new forms of artistic expression.

Each year, Neuberger Museum offers five special events for children and families: a winter VOICES concert celebrating African-American History Month; Neuberger Day Breaks, a program that offers an afternoon of creativity and fun during the February school break; Take Part in Art each spring; Art About Town, a week-long summer art camp in early summer; and the fall Harvest Festival.

On the first Saturday of each month, the Neuberger Museum offers free admission to its permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, live music by Purchase College Conservatory of Music students, and hands-on activities in the Children’s Art Activity Center.
