cantor arts center印象

本以为是个一般的大学美术馆，但看到了非常精美的收藏，甚至有罗丹的雕塑，只能说stanford 校友会太强大。门票免费，内部布置有条理，古典和现代艺术都有

For art lovers, the Cantor Art Museum at Stanford University is well worth the time and effort. It's probably best known for its collection of Rodin bronzes, but it also has excellent examples of art form Asia, Oceania and Africa as well as art from Europe and America. An small but excellent gallery of contemporary art, particularly from the Bay area, will keep art lovers extremely happy. The architecture is interesting as well because part of the collection is housed in the original classic building and the rest is in a recently added modern addition which melds beautifully and has lots of windows with spectacular views of the campus. The museum offers special and changing exhibitions as well. Check on line for the latest offerings. They also offer family programs and tours. every Sunday afternoon. The museum is free, but there's a charge for parking at metered spots. If you have more time, you can visit the outdoor art at Stanford University. The museum has a map of 32 different outdoor sculptures, or check online at arts.standford.edu/map if the museum is closed. There's an Andy Goldsworthy piece just across the street from the museum, and the campus has a variety of pieces ranging from Dale Chihuly to Alexander Calder. An art lover's paradise! all for free!

The Cantor Arts Center has a great collection highlighted by a wonderful Rodin sculpture garden and the Gates of Hell. There is also a fantastic contemporary art gallery and an amazing Serra installation. But the real news and worth a trip from anywhere is the Anderson Collection - a completely new Gallery next door to the Cantor with the personal collection of the Anderson family. The architecture and lighting of the gallery is breathtaking and the art work is large bold and inspiring. Check out the introductory video where the Anderson's daughter talks about what it was like to grow up with a Jackson Pollack over her bed.

We return to the Cantor Arts Center on a regular basis. It has ever-changing special exhibits that we enjoy seeing. It also has a lot of photography exhibits, which is of special interest to us. It is a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon, especially with visitors from out of town.

Cantor Arts is one of the Arts centers at Stanford, alongwith the Anderson Art Gallery just opened up next door. It is the home of Stanford's extensive art collection covering all ages and genres; because it is California based and associated with the university it has an outstanding collection of California and modern art. It regularly holds special exhibits which are spectacular, and the Rodin Scuplture Garden is (I believe) unique in the world in being able to collect so many signature pieces together in an outstanding outdoor venue. This museum, alongwith the Anderson Gallery, make Stanford a must-visit venue for any fine art enthusiasts visiting the Bay Area.

Visiting with our 6yo granddaughter allowed us to view this collection differently than we had ever before. She was given a kit that allowed her to copy any piece of her choosing. How interesting it was to hear her comments about various paintings and sculptures and when she selected one item to copy she did so with interest and care. Upon returning her art kit, the person at the desk offered praise and gave her a "frame" for her production. What a wonderful way to encourage artistic interest and creativity in children!

So much to look at! It was a beautiful place and is home of one of the original Thinker statues. The volunteers and security are all wicked nice throughout. Plus it's FREEEEE! Go get cultured!

The Cantor Arts Center is located on Stanford campus and is FREE!! We didn’t have much time, so we scanned through a fairly interesting exhibit on the Stanford family, and browsed the Robert Frank special exhibit (photography). It was well done and… free!! It gets 5 stars because it's free. If you live close by, you could literally just pop in on a lazy afternoon to see an exhibit or two.

Been there too many times to count. Even though it's not a huge place, you simply cannot beat the quality of the exhibits, and the free tours and kids activities available. The front, back and courtyards are also great places for kids to run around among world-class sculptures.

Loved wandering around this beautiful art museum but would have liked more information and perhaps a scheduled tour. I always find that you learn so much from these that you miss when on your own. Did not see many scheduled.
