Neuberger Museum of Art is located in Purchase, New York, US. It is affiliated with Purchase College, part of the State University of New York system. It is the nation's tenth largest university museum. Neuberger offers exhibitions, films, lectures, and events. It showcases a variety of artists, including 20th-century masters, midcareer and emerging artists. Founded in 1974 with a donation of 108 pieces from Roy Neuberger, the permanent collection has grown to over 6000 works.

When the Governor Nelson Rockefeller conceived of Purchase College as the arts flagship of SUNY, he approached financier and renowned collector Roy R.Neuberger to donate his collection to a new teaching Museum that would bear his name.

Now the core of the Museum's holdings, his gift contains examples from the primary movements that shaped modern art. It is his collecting philosophy--collecting the art of his time--that guides the Neuberger's commitment to showcasing the art of our time.

Designed by the preeminent architectural firm of Philip Johnson/John Burgee, the Neuberger Museum of Art is 79,000 square feet and includes nearly 30,000 square feet of gallery space, exterior sculpture courts, a Museum café and Museum store.
