Alongside the powerful reshaping of the Princeton University Art Museum—with a new building to open in 2025—we are continuing the growth of our strong community of Museum members whose support helps to keep the Museum open, active, and free to everyone, always.
As a member, you will receive updates on construction progress, news about special exhibitions at Art on Hulfish and Art@Bainbridge, exclusive invitations to opening events, and more. Your investment has a lasting impact on the Museum’s ability to be innovative and nimble, to present accessible scholarship, and to create opportunities for new insights into our collections for art-lovers around the globe.
New and upgraded members who join before May 31, 2024 will receive a pin featuring Alexander Calder’s monumental sculpture designed for the Princeton campus, Five Disks: One Empty (1969–70).
