The size and quality of the collection allows the museum to assemble great works of art around a given theme and share them with the public in a meaningful way. The museum s collection of works on paper numbers approximately 10,000. Yet if we take the time to contemplate them, these older pictures still have the power to carry us to a world of cosmic struggle or resolution, expanding our minds without overwhelming them. The Ackland is on South Columbia Street near Franklin Street. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.
Admission is free.
