rdf:langString The Binghamton University Art Museum is an art museum in Binghamton, New York within Binghamton University. Located on the second floor of the main Fine Arts Building on the campus, the museum's permanent collection includes over 3,500 works from various eras and of different media. It includes "paintings, sculpture, prints, photographs, drawings, glass, ceramic, metalwork, manuscript pages and textiles from Egypt, Greece, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and pre-Columbian cultures." As of 2013, the University Art Museum began an initiative to expand the accessibility of the collection with the greater public and to heighten its commitment to education. The facility is not currently accredited. The late professor Kenneth Lindsay, for whom the Kenneth C Lindsay Study room is named, founded the university's visual arts program and began its permanent art collection. Lindsay was one of the Monuments Men who retrieved art at the end of World War II.
