**DePaul University has issued an update about the future of the collection. You may read that announcement here. With the closure of the museum on June 30, 2026, DePaul Art Museum staff continues to work closely with university administration to follow AAMG guidelines for the perpetual care of the museum's collection in its entirety moving forward.
DPAM’s
collection is diverse in culture and geographic region, with more than 4,000 objects, strong holdings by Chicago and regional artists, strengths in North American and Latin American photography, WPA-era prints, contemporary and traditional West African objects, and Eastern European graphic arts.
DPAM provides educators many opportunities to expand their students’ experience of art, history and culture in unexpected ways. Faculty from DePaul and other colleges and universities around the city have developed innovative strategies to incorporate the art museum as a resource for teaching and learning. Museum staff members are available to assist in developing custom tours and collection study visits to enhance students’ learning experience.
