About The Clark Art Institute

Founded in 1955 by Robert Sterling and Francine Clark, this Williamstown museum holds European and American art and is known for French Impressionism by Renoir, Degas and Monet. Look for Renoir's A Box at the Theater and Bouguereau's Nymphs and Satyr, which Sterling Clark bought in 1942. Later buildings by Tadao Ando and Annabelle Selldorf joined the 1955 original, and the 140 acre campus has meadows, woods and walking trails.
