The Mills College Art Museum reviews all written requests, and permission may be granted on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of the museum. A usage fee may be involved depending on the type and nature of the proposed use. Reproduction-quality images do not exist for the entire collection. Requests will be granted based on our ability to provide images. A fee will be charged to create new photography.
