Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University

Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University presents changing exhibitions, public programs, and collections that span the globe, from ancient China to the 21st century -- plus the largest collection of Rodin bronzes outside Paris.

The Cantor Arts Center boasts a proud and venerable history, as it was conceived of in tandem with the founding of Stanford University itself. The Stanford family, including Leland Jr., traveled the world collecting objects of art and cultural interest. The museum was originally created to make this collection available to students and the public. It has withstood natural disasters and periodic neglect, only to be resurrected, renewed, and expanded, with its collections stronger than ever, thanks to the passionate dedication of Stanford faculty and staff, and art lovers in the surrounding community.
