    About the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) and Oberlin College

    :


    For more than a century, Oberlin College has been committed to promoting direct study of original works of art to foster visual literacy and a deeper understanding of the diversity of the world's cultures.

    Today the AMAM houses an encyclopedic collection of more than 15,000 works selected to provide a comprehensive overview of the history of art and is recognized as one of the best academic museums in the country.

    The AMAM serves a broad regional audience and operates on the premise that learning about art is important for everyone, a principle demonstrated by free public admission, offered since its founding in 1917.

    See

    for more information about the museum and its programs.
    The museum complex includes a 1917 building designed by Cass Gilbert.

    In the 1970s, Robert Venturi designed a gallery dedicated to the presentation of modern and contemporary art, the architect's first museum commission.

    The AMAM also shares responsibility with Oberlin College for a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house, the first Usonian house in Ohio, located in Oberlin.

    Founded in 1833, Oberlin College is a private, four-year, highly selective national liberal arts college near Cleveland, Ohio, and is also home to an outstanding Conservatory of Music.

    Together, the two divisions enroll approximately 2,900 students. Oberlin College was the first college in the U.S. to make interracial education and co-education central to its mission.

    The College continues to view a diverse, equitable, and inclusive educational environment as essential to the excellence of its academic program.

    Among liberal arts colleges, Oberlin is a national leader in successfully placing graduates into Ph.
    D. programs.
    Oberlin College is committed to professional staff, faculty, and student diversity, equity, and inclusion.
