Pickard Hall was built in 1894 and was originally the University’s chemistry building. In 1976 the building was completely renovated and became home to the Department of Art History and Archaeology and the Museum of Art and Archaeology, which houses more than 15,000 artworks and artifacts. The Museum’s collections of art and artifacts continues to grow every year through gifts and purchases. Only a small percent of the total collection can be on display in the Museum galleries at any one time. The rest of the art is kept in protected storage areas in other rooms in Pickard Hall and off site. On the second floor of Pickard Hall there are nine galleries where the art and artifacts are displayed. These rooms feature artworks and artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection. There are galleries with Ancient Art, Byzantine and Medieval Art, European and American Art, Modern and Contemporary Art, and art from other places around the world such as Africa, India, and Pre-columbian America..." -- Introduction.
