Housed in a National Historic Landmark Building designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Furness, the University's official art gallery opened in 1983 in a 1920's addition originally constructed to house the University's Shakespeare Library. Renovation of the space and the Furness stairway was made possible through the generosity of University alumnus and philanthropist Arthur Ross.
