NEW ACQUISITIONS

The majority of the artwork in the Bowers collection has been generously donated to the museum. New artwork is acquired regularly. The Bowers Museum would not have the world class collection that it does without the support and generosity of its donors. This section is by no means a complete listing of all new acquisitions, but serves more to highlight some of the new acquisitions and will be updated as new works are acquired.
