Art Treasures in Hand, Fordham
Sets Out to Define its Collection

The scope of the long-term plan for the Fordham University Art Collection encompasses permanent collections and temporary exhibitions highlighting a range of material from ancient Etruscan treasures to works by promising 21st-century artists. The expansive approach aims to bring clarity to a disparate collection, while staking out new ground with pop-up exhibits and community outreach through art.
