The Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art enriches teaching and learning on the campuses of Northwestern University and in the communities of their surrounding regions by presenting art across time, cultures, and media; convening interdisciplinary discussions in which art is a springboard for exploring issues and ideas; and collecting art that supports the Northwestern University curriculum. The Block’s permanent collection of artworks from the 15th century to today provides students, faculty, scholars, and the public direct access to nearly 5,000 prints, drawings, and photographs.
