The Berea College Art Collection is home to over 16,000 artworks, artifacts, and objects of material culture that span over 5,000 years of human creation from around the world. As the largest university art collection in the region, the Berea College Art Collection is an invaluable resource that supports student learning and enriches our community.
The permanent collection is made available to the Berea community through exhibitions in our Dimitrie Berea and Masterpiece Galleries, class visits, gallery tours, special programs, research appointments, and our searchable database.
