The Danforth Art Museum’s Permanent Collection, containing over 3,500 objects, focuses on American art from the early 19th century to the present day. Changing exhibitions feature both historical and contemporary works and emphasize the Museum’s commitment to contemporary, regional artists in all media. A highlight of the Permanent Collection is the work of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, a twentieth century African-American sculptor whose works address contemporary issues of race, gender, and social justice. The Museum houses the contents of Fuller’s Framingham studio, which include almost 400 pieces detailing her process in a gallery devoted to the artist.

The Danforth Art Museum is proud to be part of Framingham State University. The Danforth Museum mobile app was made possible by funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council."
