Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University

Serving the Stanford campus, the Bay Area community, and visitors from around the world, the Cantor Arts Center provides an outstanding cultural experience for visitors of all ages. Founded when the university opened in 1891, the historic museum was expanded and renamed in 1999 for lead donors Iris and B. Gerald Cantor. The Cantor’s collection spans 5,000 years and includes almost 42,000 works of art from around the globe. The Cantor is an established resource for teaching and research on campus. Free admission, tours, public programs, and family activities serve visitors from beyond the campus community as well as those from Stanford.
