About the Clark Art Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, the Clark Art Institute is one of a small number of institutions globally that is both an art museum and a center for research, critical discussion, and higher education in the visual arts. Opened in 1955, the Clark houses exceptional European and American paintings and sculpture, extensive collections of master prints and drawings, English silver, and early photography. Acting as convener through its Research and Academic Program, the Clark gathers an international community of scholars to participate in a lively program of conferences, colloquia, and workshops on topics of vital importance to the visual arts. The Clark Library, consisting of over 300,000 volumes, is one of the nation\u2019s premier art history libraries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highly acclaimed Williams College\/Clark Graduate Program in the History of Art is housed at the Clark and several members of the Clark\u2019s staff teach in the program. The Clark\u2019s 140-acre campus in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts features miles of hiking and walking trails through woodlands and meadows, providing a distinctive setting in which to experience art and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
