The Phillips Museum of Art, Franklin & Marshall College

The collection at The Phillips Museum of Art, at Franklin & Marshall College, consists of fine art, historic artifacts, furniture, decorative arts and material culture that encompass both local and global perspectives. The collection serves as a teaching resource for faculty across the curriculum and provides students opportunities to engage in undergraduate research, using objects as gateways for inquiry into social and cultural questions. The Nissley Gallery in The Phillips Museum serves as a permanent collection space and as a laboratory for experimental interpretation. The Phillips Museum of Art joined the eHive community in February of 2013. New objects are being added each week.
