With a collection of over 5,000 works, one of the largest and most distinguished art collections in Florida, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum (CFAM) is recognized as a leader among college museums. While the collection’s roots are over a century old, the museum recently underwent a major renovation, reopening its doors to the public in 2006. This $4.5 million construction project included a new building with six display galleries, a print study room, and an educational gallery.

CFAM’s permanent collection includes works by Albert Bierstadt, Alex Katz, John Frederick Kensett, Henri Matisse, Thomas Moran, Pablo Picasso, Ed Ruscha, Tintoretto, and Tiepolo. Original and traveling exhibitions change seasonally and include works geared toward a wide-range of audiences, including art from the early Renaissance to cutting-edge contemporary.

CFAM regularly features public talks, films, and educational programs that offer events throughout the year for the benefit of the college campus as well as the local community. Over the past decade CFAM has publicly exhibited many works from its extensive collection for the first time, while more than 700 new works have been acquired by donation or purchase during this period.
