Berman Museum

 
Named for the late philanthropists Philip and Muriel Berman, the Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College is regarded as one of the nation's finest small college art museums.  The museum program is fully accredited by the American Association of Museums and houses over 4,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, decorative, and cultural objects representing a broad array of art historical genres.  In addition, a spectacular collection of large-scale outdoor sculpture is integrated throughout the living and learning environment of the 170-acre campus, making it an ideal place to study, stroll and contemplate.

Since opening in 1989, the museum has offered a diversity of exhibitions and programming which have educated, influenced, and served as a cultural resource for the community in the Tri-state region.

With over 30,000 visitors annually, the Berman Museum has enriched the fabric of the community and redefined liberal learning at Ursinus College.  Its exhibitions, publications and efforts by the staff have received national recognition through a network of professional organizations.  Our museum professionals remain committed to providing a positive, informative and enjoyable experience for both the novice and the art aficionado.
