Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
Williamstown
A museum and research center dedicated to advancing scholarship and
the public understanding of art. Famous for French Impressionist
paintings, especially Renoir, the collection also includes European
paintings by Piero della Francesca, Fragonard, Turner, and Goya;
American works by Homer, Sargent, Remington, and Cassatt; silver
prints, drawings, photographs, and sculpture.
Nestled in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts, the Sterling and
Francine Clark Art Institute is both art museum and research center,
welcoming visitors year-round to experience its outstanding
collections of European and American art in an intimate setting of
profound natural beauty. Surrounded by 140 acres of expansive lawns,
meadows, and walking trails, the Clark is home to exceptional examples
of European and American painting and sculpture, master prints and
drawings, English silver and porcelain, and early photographs. The
museum is best known, however, for its extraordinary collection of
French Impressionist paintings.
