Meadows Museum of Art and its collection

The initial collection of the Meadows Museum of Art was the Indochina Collection, which consists of paintings and drawings by French Academic artist Jean Despujols. These works document his time working in Indochina for the French government between 1936 and 1938. This collection provides a unique insight into the region during this period.

Temporary Exhibitions and Educational Programs

In addition to its permanent collection, the Meadows Museum of Art also hosts temporary exhibitions and educational programs.
