The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art is committed to serving a diverse audience and cultivating a wide range of partnerships that inspire creative ways to link objects and ideas for the education and enjoyment of all. The Museum preserves, documents, interprets, and makes accessible its collections for the benefit of current and future generations of museum visitors. By providing wide access to original works of art from different cultural traditions and time periods, the Museum connects audiences with art of the past and helps them explore new directions in contemporary art. Since its founding in 1973, the Museum has been open to all free of charge.

The Johnson Museum is filled with great art experiences and interesting programs in 2013. We're very excited about the array of wonderful artworks on view here beginning in January. Visitors can see high-quality European Renaissance, Baroque, and Romantic drawings by masters such as Fra Bartolommeo, Antoine Watteau, and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in the exhibition Drawn to Excellence, which was organized by the Smith College Museum of Art, and an outstanding selection of drawings by artist Storm Tharp, Cornell Class of 1992. Contemporary southeast Asian textiles, meanwhile, complement the Johnson's permanent collection of historic textiles and provide the opportunity for the Museum to organize an accompanying course in collaboration with the Department of the History of Art.
