Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University

20th-century European and American art is presented, along with a diverse permanent collection spanning the history of art and representing a broad spectrum of cultures. The striking and diverse collection of art spans thousands of years and a wide spectrum of cultures and artistic disciplines. Originally built in 1891, the museum was renovated in the late 1990s to become the modern arts center that it is today. With 27 separate galleries, this is the Peninsula’s most fascinating cultural hub. Adjoining the Cantor Arts Center itself, a 42,000-square-foot wing showcases modern and contemporary art, as well as special exhibits. Located just outside the Cantor Arts Center, the Rodin Sculpture Garden features 20 massive bronzes by Auguste Rodin, including “The Gates of Hell” and “The Three Shades.”
