The Lancaster Museum of Art’s collection contains over 400 pieces representing 200+ artists. Most works are 2D paintings, drawings, and collages, though we do have ceramic, wood, and metal sculptures. The collection is periodically displayed in special exhibitions. A long-term goal for our organization is to have the full collection accessible online. Below are highlights of our Permanent Collection that have been featured in recent exhibitions.
