The museum is closed Mondays (except Labor Day and Columbus Day) and New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The Williams College Museum of Art is one of the best college art museums in the coun-try, in terms of the breadth of its collection, which spans the late eighteenth century to the present, including contemporary, modern American, and non-Western art. The museum’s ARTWORKS program, a series of one-person exhibitions of contemporary art, has been particularly well received. Good traveling exhibitions stop here, too. Special family days and activities, storytime in the galleries, and summer camp; call ahead.
