Works from the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art’s celebrated print collection are now on view. Owing to their fragile nature, works on paper must be regularly rotated. Enlivening the galleries are significant examples by Rembrandt, Dürer, and other masters.

About the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art
With origins dating to 1875, the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art (formerly the Snite Museum of Art) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded university art museums in America. Founded on the principle that art is essential to understanding individual, shared, and diverse human experiences and beliefs, the Museum encourages close looking and critical thinking. Experiences with significant, original works of art are intended to stimulate inquiry, dialogue, and wonder for audiences across the academy, the community, and around the world—all in support of the University of Notre Dame’s Catholic mission. The renowned permanent collection contains more than 30,000 works representing many cultures and periods of world art history. For more information, visit raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.
