Agency Details:

The Center depends on a committed group of dedicated member volunteers to fill a variety of positions and to participate in a wide range of activities and events vital to the successful operation of the Center.

Description:
The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University is a museum committed to intellectual exploration and the pursuit of knowledge, fostering a sense of discovery through direct experiences with works of art. The Center collects, preserves, and studies art from all cultures and periods, serving the University and the public through exhibitions and programs that inspire the understanding and enjoyment of art.

History:
The Cantor Arts Center boasts a proud and venerable history, as it was conceived of in tandem with the founding of Stanford University itself. The Stanford family, including Leland Jr., traveled the world collecting objects of art and cultural interest. The museum was originally created to make this collection available to students and the public. It has withstood natural disasters and periodic neglect, only to be resurrected, renewed, and expanded, with its collections stronger than ever, thanks to the passionate dedication of Stanford faculty and staff, and art lovers in the surrounding community.
