“Renaissance: A New Museum for Princeton” reflects on the history of the Princeton University Art Museum as one of the oldest collecting institutions in North America and the role of its architecture in campus making. 

The 2025 opening of its new building affirms the museum’s long-standing commitment to considering works of art in the original as essential tools for understanding the wider world.
