Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers-New Brunswick
The Zimmerli Art Museum is one of the largest and most distinguished university-based museums in the country and is located on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The museum collects, preserves, researches, and exhibits world-class works of art to provide the university community and diverse regional, national, international audiences with direct experience of the visual arts. Scholarly activities make art accessible through exhibitions, publications, and educational programs.
Founded in 1966 as the Rutgers University Art Gallery, the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum was established in 1983 in response to the growth of the permanent collection. The major benefactors for the construction of the museum were Ralph and Alan Voorhees, and the Zimmerli was named for their mother.
In 1991, Dr. Norton Dodge and his wife Nancy Ruyle Dodge donated to the Zimmerli some twenty thousand works created between 1956 and 1986 by nearly a thousand artists from Moscow, Leningrad, and the former Soviet republics, to create the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union, the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of this kind.
The museum is headquartered in a 70,000-square-foot facility houses more than 60,000 works of art, with strengths in the Art of the Americas, Asian Art, European Art, Russian Art & Soviet Nonconformist Art, and Original Illustrations for Children’s Literature. The permanent collections incl ... view more »
