Search the Collections
The JCMA maintains a collection of over 800 objects, predominantly two-dimensional works. At its core is the Stottlemyer collection, a 1998 gift to Juniata College by Quayton Stottlemyer, Juniata College class of 1951, in honor of his father. Acquisition of this large and varied collection spurred the development of the Museum and the renovation of exhibition spaces in Carnegie Hall to accommodate presentation of both permanent collection objects and temporary exhibitions. Since that time, the JCMA collection has expanded through gifts and strategic purchases to provide students and the surrounding community with opportunities to consider the breadth and diversity of human expression through artistic endeavor.
