The McMullen offers exhibition-related programs, including musical and theatrical performances, films, gallery talks, symposia, lectures, readings, and receptions that draw students, faculty, alumni, and friends together for stimulating dialogue” (“Education”). The museum’s collections include American Paintings (landscapes and portraits from 1840-1940), Italian Paintings (Sacred scenes and portraiture from 1500-1800), Flemish Tapestries (classical and Christian from 1500-1600), and Gifts from William & Alison Vareika, which includes works by John La Farge and William Trost Richards.
