Properties at Carnegie Mellon University
Artistic Properties
Works of fine or decorative arts ("artistic properties") are
collected and exhibited by Carnegie Mellon University to enhance the quality
of life on campus, to stimulate education and research, and to preserve
such works for posterity. The University Libraries are responsible for
managing and exhibiting artistic properties owned by the University.
The Artistic
Properties Collection of Carnegie Mellon University includes, but is not
limited to:
- Paintings
on canvas and panel
- Art works
on paper (prints, watercolors, drawings, photographs, etc.)
- Works
on parchment, papyrus and vellum
- Sculpture
- Antique
furnishings (furniture, carpets, vases, ceramics, coins, stamps, etc.)

members for office and department display, as well as educational instruction.

I see the works and choose?
