Collections

The Martin Museum is an actively collecting institution, and currently holds over 1,500 works in its permanent collection, along with an additional 500 + works that make up the McMullen Watercolor Collection (private), and the Salle Collection of Decorative Arts (private). The Martin Museum’s collections as a whole span over five centuries in time, and range from European, African, Asian, Oceanic, and American. Our collecting vision for the future is focused on diversifying the collection, and building a more robust collection that broadly represents artists from many cultures, backgrounds, and places of the world.
