Presenting exhibitions of regional, national, and international art year-round, The Grinnell College Museum of Art is the nucleus of Grinnell’s Bucksbaum Center for the Arts.

Temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection of more than 6,000 objects offer diverse classroom and research learning opportunities, and with a variety of creative outreach programs — including lectures, readings, concerts, performances, even yoga — the museum is a valuable link between the College, the community, and the wider region.
