About
The Museum’s collection of historic European and American art was shaped by James Bowdoin III, the founder of the College, who bequeathed family collections of European art in 1811. Subsequent generations have built on this legacy and collecting continues to this day. This exhibition brings together works from Bowdoin’s collection with important recent acquisitions that offer new perspectives on the art of Europe and the transatlantic colonies.
