DePaul Art Museum

Housed in a pristine new building conveniently located near the Fullerton 'L' stop, the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM) extends the University’s commitments to excellence, diversity and social concerns through educational exhibitions, collections, and programming that provide fresh perspectives on art and visual culture from distant continents to Chicago’s own backyard, from the ancient world to the present.

DPAM’s collection is diverse in culture and geographic region, with more than 3000 objects, with 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.
