Founded in 1917, the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) has outstanding holdings of nearly 14,000 works of art that provide a comprehensive overview of the history of art. The current building renovation and endowment effort will ensure that the museum continues to provide deep educational and aesthetic experiences for Oberlin College faculty and students and the public. It will also allow us to preserve our historic building and improve the way we care for and provide access to our art collections.

With your support, we can ensure the continued excellence of the Allen Memorial Art Museum.

Renovation Overview
Since 2005, museum staff have worked to plan for the replacement of the AMAM’s 30-year-old mechanical system with a new one that will meet the museum’s complex climate control requirements. Our partners in this effort are Samuel Anderson Architects (SAA) of New York City and McClure Engineering of St. Louis.
