Overview
With over 8,000 works of art from a diverse range of cultures and time periods, the Mills College Art Museum has the largest permanent collection of any liberal arts college on the West Coast. The collection spans centuries of art-making practices, from the first century BC to the present, with significant holdings of prints and drawings, photography, ceramics, textiles, Native American basketry, and early
20th-century California painting. The museum continually seeks to enhance its strengths and to expand the representation of contemporary artistic practices in its collection. The museum is committed to the preservation, presentation, and interpretation of its holdings for current and future audiences.
