The entrance to the museum

The Muscarelle Museum of Art at The College of William & Mary is an art museum in Williamsburg, Virginia right on the College’s campus.[1] It sits adjacent to the Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall on Jamestown Road. The museum was given to the College as a gift from alumni and friends and first opened its doors in 1983.[1] The biggest donor was William & Mary alumnus Joseph L. Muscarelle (Class of 1927) and his wife Margaret. They and their family have continued to support the museum’s operation with funding through the years.[1]
