Please note: Capital improvement funds have been allotted to renovate and upgrade the museum’s heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system. A stable environment is crucial for the proper maintenance of works of art. Therefore, beginning June 25, 2012, the entire museum will be on hiatus for approximately 24 weeks. When the museum reopens to the public, normal hours are:

Museum Hours: Tues.–Sun., 12–5 p.m.
Closed Mondays and major holidays
Café Hours: Mon.–Fri., 12–2:45 p.m. (academic year)
Tues.–Fri., 12–2 p.m. (summer)

The Neuberger Museum of Art is an integral part of Purchase College and a vital center of community engagement as the premier museum of modern, contemporary, and African art in Westchester and Fairfield counties.

Founding patron Roy R. Neuberger (1903–2010) championed the art of his time, and the Neuberger Museum of Art continues his commitment by celebrating the art of our time. From the cutting edge to fresh art-historical perspectives, the Neuberger presents more than 10 relevant changing exhibitions each year, ranging from single-artist retrospectives to thematic surveys and newly commissioned artist projects. Also on view are permanent exhibitions of modern American art and African art.

Recent exhibitions include:

• The Fashion Moda Stores, 1982: Selections from Documenta 7
• Visionary Sugar: Works by Kiki Smith
• American Vanguards: Graham, Davis, Gorky, de Kooning, and Their Circle, 1927–1942
• Dana Schutz: If the Face Had Wheels
• For the Love of Art: Letters to Roy R. Neuberger
• Betsabeé Romero: Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears)
• Art in Cameroon: Sculptural Dialogues
• Hans Richter: Taming Chance
• The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973–1991
• R.H. Quaytman: Spine, Chapter 20
• The Irony of Skeletons: Nicolás de Jesús’ Amates

The most recent installation of the Roy R. Neuberger Collection, When Modern Was Contemporary, incorporates works of art left to the museum, following the passing of our founding patron, by Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, and Horace Pippin, to those already in the collection by Milton Avery, Alexander Calder, Stuart Davis, Helen Frankenthaler, Edward Hopper, Jacob Lawrence, Kenzo Okada, Georgia O’Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, David Smith, and many others.

As a teaching museum, the Neuberger renders even the most unfamiliar and challenging content accessible to a wide range of audiences through a variety of educational materials and learning opportunities.

An array of interpretive programs, as well as admission, is always free to members of the Purchase College community. The museum offers family programs, opening receptions, and other events in addition to a café and store.
