The Allen Memorial Art Museum has been ranked third among college and university art museums, after those at Harvard and Yale. The art museum adds cultural flavor to the community and student life. There are many exhibitions throughout the year, plus speakers, films, and community events that involve the art museum. Additionally, art classes draw extensively on the art museum. It is rare to be in the museum and not see a student studying a painting or sculpture.
Art is everywhere on campus, even in students' dorm rooms.
