The Neuberger is a small museum on the SUNY Purchase campus with a very impressive permanent collection of 20th century art. Compact and masterfully curated, this 6000+ piece collection started in 1974 with a gift of 108 pieces of art from founding patron Roy R. Neuberger. The collection has come to run the gamut of modern art and includes a major display of African sculpture. In addition to the rotating exhibits of the museum’s own art, the Neuberger hosts travelling exhibitions of classic and contemporary works and historic photographs. The museum is inexpensive to visit, free for SUNY students, and makes a perfect complement to the nearby Donald Kendall sculpture garden.
