Muscarelle Museum Of Art Revenue and Competitors

Located on the campus of The College of William & Mary, the Muscarelle Museum serves to promote the visual arts in the Williamsburg community. In recent years, the Muscarelle Museum has held exhibitions such as "Botticelli and the Search for the Divine: Florentine Painting between the Medici and the Bonfirse of the Vanities", "Leonardo da Vinci and the Idea of Beauty", and "Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane". These exhibitions, and others like it, have earned the Muscarelle international praise as a strong University Museum. The origins of the collection can be traced to 1732, when the third Earl of Burlington gave The College of William & Mary a portrait of the physicist Robert Boyle. Since that time, the collection has grown to over five thousand works of art encompassing a diverse group of objects from antiquity to the present, Eastern and Western art, and examples of almost every material and medium. The permanent collection, which continues to grow through gifts and purchases, stands as a major artistic resource for The College and region.
