The Princeton University Art Museum reopens to the public on October 31st with a new exhibition after a four-year ground-up construction project. The new 146,000-square-foot complex of nine interlocking modernist pavilions, built on the site of the former building that was demolished in 2021, almost doubles the museum’s size. Princeton Collects celebrates the gifts of more than 2,000 works of art given by more than two hundred donors. Installed in boundary-crossing ways to shape provocative juxtapositions, the exhibition centers some of the most significant works of art received since 2021, including landmark gifts of Abstract Expressionist painting, historical and contemporary photography, early American furniture, nineteenth-century British art, and much more. As part of Princeton's collection, Ai Weiwei's Porcelain Cube (2009) will be on display in the exhibition.
