There are nearly 6,000 works of art in the permanent collection of the Weatherspoon Art Museum. It is a collection respected nationwide for its historically rigorous, imaginative and adventurous focus on American modern and contemporary art. The spirit that has shaped the collection since its inception in 1942, a spirit of supporting new and different directions in art since the turn of the twentieth century until now, continues to guide the substantive growth of the collection today.
