About Our Collection
Most museums organize art by era or location, but the CMA's Collection has been reimagined around common themes like "What Gets on the Walls" and "Art and Identity." This unique arrangement of pieces allows us to compare ancient and contemporary art to see how certain ideas endure throughout human history.
