Stephen Kinzer of the New York Times has written that it is in the vanguard of museums creating exhibitions that "reach far beyond traditional art history", providing political, historical, and cultural context for works on view.

Well-known artists represented in the museum include Amedeo Modigliani, Frank Stella, Françoise Gilot, Alexander Ney, and John La Farge.

In 2021, the investor and philanthropist Peter Lynch donated 27 paintings and drawings to the museum, including works by Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and Pablo Picasso.

Being a university museum, the focus of the exhibitions is the generation of new knowledge in all disciplinary fields of art history.
