Rose Art Museum

Rose Art Museum

The Rose Art Museum, founded in 1961, is a part of Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. Named after benefactors Edward Rose and Bertha Rose, it offers temporary exhibitions, and it displays and houses works of art from the Brandeis University art collections.

The first director, Sam Hunter, came to Brandeis from the Museum of Modern Art, and with a small grant launched a collection with iconic works by Willem De Kooning, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and several others. The museum’s exhibition and cultural programming have centered on many of today’s leading artists, often giving these artists their first museum exhibitions: Frank Stella, Kiki Smith, Nam June Paik, and Dana Schutz among them. The Rose Art Museum has the leading collection of modern and contemporary art in New England.

With approximately 13,000 square feet of exhibition space in three galleries, the Rose Art Museum offers 9-12 exhibitions a year, most of which are organized by the Rose Art Museum curatorial team. The museum has recently unveiled the design-- by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban-- for a new wing, which will be devoted to permanent collection exhibition. Thirteen thousand annual Rose Art Museum visitors represent the Brandeis community, the greater Boston area, and both national and international museum-goers, in that order. The Rose Art Museum operates year round and is open Tuesday through Sunday.

Michael Rush, a former Jesuit priest and actor, is the museum's current director. [ [http://www.brandeis.edu/publications/review/0703/rose.pdf A Dream of the Rose] Brandeis Magazine Spring '07]
