Richard Ross Museum of Art

Although the Museum is affiliated with Ohio Wesleyan University it is open to the public during the academic semesters and by appointment during the summer and winter breaks.

The building housing the museum was designed in a Richardsonian style in the early twentieth century.

Built in 1911, the architectural gem boasts terrazzo tile and original hardwood floors, Palladian windows, and a closet-sized safe.

Once acquired by the university, the building’s interior space was modified to accommodate several components of the fine arts department.

After an extensive 2 year-long renovation occurred resulting in the establishment of the Richard M. Ross Art Museum.
