The Jansma Family Works on Paper Study Room

The Jansma Family Works on Paper Study Room provides public access to the museum’s collections of prints, drawings, and photographs. These include works of and European origin dating from the fifteenth century to the present.

Because works on paper are sensitive to the damaging effects of light they are shown only for brief periods at a time. Works on paper that are not currently on view in the galleries may be examined in the Study Room upon request. Classes from local schools and universities are encouraged to schedule visits to the Study Room.
