Art plays an integral role in liberal arts learning at Oberlin, offering students connections with coursework and personal interests, and creating pathways to careers in the arts. Whether looking at Mesopotamian statuettes or seeing the latest contemporary art at an opening event, you’ll find new ways of understanding your classes and yourself in a trans-historical, global context.

No matter what your major, you're invited to our free public programs. The monthly Allen After Hours series features guest speakers who are leaders in their fields, and sometimes live music in the museum setting.

Students may lead docent tours, participate in public talks, or work as curatorial assistants. By special request, museum curators sometimes oversee capstone projects and papers related to the collection. In addition, students occasionally organize exhibitions, either as part of a class or working individually with a museum curator.
