NEW Palmer Museum
The Palmer Museum of Art within The Arboretum at Penn State replaced its 52-year home on Curtin Road. The innovative new Palmer is a larger facility that features education spaces, including a teaching gallery, flexible event spaces, and nearly twice the exhibition space of the previous museum, allowing for expanded student, faculty, and public access to Penn State’s growing collection of nearly 11,000 works of art.
