The Prints, Drawings, and Photographs (PDP) Study Room offers researchers and the public opportunities to see works that cannot be put on permanent view in the galleries. Because works on paper are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity, these objects are kept in climate and light-controlled environments. Visitors are invited to see these works in temporary exhibitions, or by special appointment in the PDP Study Room.
Most of the Museum’s collection is accessible through a collections search. If you cannot locate a particular object of interest, please contact our department and we will try to assist with your inquiry. However, given the significant number of requests we receive, the Museum is unable to do extensive independent research on behalf of visitors or scholars.
Please note: The Print Study Room is currently closed and unavailable for booking, in order to safely complete construction work as part of the Museum’s ongoing campus transformation. The closure is currently projected to last through the end of February 2028. Appointment availability for the Print Study Room will reopen when the completion date becomes certain. Your patience is appreciated as we conduct this work.
