The collection at The Phillips Museum of Art consists of fine arts including paintings, photographs, sculptures, and works on paper. The collection also includes decorative arts, Pennsylvania German material culture, ethnographic material and some historical material. The collections are available for research by students, faculty and outside scholars. A portion of the permanent collection is on exhibition in the museum, as well as various buildings throughout the campus. Objects are also periodically used for temporary exhibitions and are loaned to various museums in the region.
A portion of the collection is currently available online through the College's Digital Repository Scholar's Square. A new collections database is under development and will offer higher quality images and enhanced search and user features.
