European Art

An inspiring selection of fine and decorative European arts from The Mint Museum’s permanent collection.

This installation features an inspiring selection of fine and decorative European arts from The Mint Museum’s permanent collection, created between the mid-eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. These paintings and objects trace the wide range of styles and subjects popular in Western Europe during the period, from the majestic images of royal grandeur to pastoral woodland scenes and light-filled landscapes. This installation also highlights the generosity of local collectors and patrons and their importance to the museum, as many of the objects on view were donated by area families over the past fifty years.
