Permanent Collection:

The College of Wooster Art Museum’s permanent collection ranges from fine prints to ethnographic materials. The largest single collection is the John Taylor Arms Print Collection—a gift of Ward M. and Mariam C. Canaday—that includes prints and drawings from the fifteenth to the early twentieth century. Some of the artists represented in this collection are Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, Isabel Bishop, Martin Lewis, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Albrecht Dürer, Käthe Kollwitz, Charles-François Daubigny, and Félix Bracquemond.

Other collections include the William C. Mithoefer Collection of African Art, the Evin C. Varner Ceramic Collection, a collection of Middle Eastern pottery, and several collections of Chinese decorative art. The Art Museum also houses the College’s Ptolemaic period Egyptian mummy and coffin, as well as the Archaeology Department’s Pella Collection of Middle Bronze, Roman, and Byzantine era objects excavated in Jordan.
