European Art

About the collection

The Mint’s European Art collection features an inspiring selection of fine and decorative European arts from our permanent collection. 

This collection offers a captivating glimpse into the evolution of European artistic styles from the mid-18th to the early 20th centuries. Our collection features a diverse array of paintings and decorative arts that capture the expansive scope of Western European aesthetics — from regal depictions of royal opulence to serene pastoral scenes and luminous landscapes.

This collection not only reflects the artistic trends of its time but also celebrates the contributions of local collectors and patrons. Many of the exceptional works on display have been generously donated by area families over the past 50 years, underscoring the deep connection between our community and the museum.
