Collections

The Tang Collection offers the opportunity to view a range of objects in spaces that function as classrooms and storage areas designed by architect Antoine Predock to be accessible for faculty and students. Serving primarily as a resource for Skidmore, classes are held in the Kettlewell Print Study Room and Permanent Collections Storage Area to view objects for study and research. Objects from the collection are often on view as teaching exhibits curated by faculty and students in collaboration with the Tang that provide their classes as and the public unlimited access during museum hours.

Public access to the collection is available by appointment. Faculty interested in collections use should contact Tang staff at least two weeks before prospective visits to select objects and plan their visit. Posted on this page is only a small selection of objects. Skidmore students and faculty can access a broad selection of images of the collection through the college’s ArtStor database.
