Works on Paper

The majority of the Davis’s encyclopedic collection consists of works on paper, including photographs, drawings, and prints of all media from diverse cultures from the 14th century to the present. The museum features a Print, Drawing and Photography Study that allows students and faculty the opportunity to view and research works on paper. The adjacent Print Study Corridor is an exhibition space dedicated to the short-term display of works on paper related to specific Wellesley College courses.
