Venture Forward gifts name Wilmerding Pavilion and Anschutz Galleries in Princeton University Art Museum

Two major gifts from Louisa Stude Sarofim and The Anschutz Foundation, part of Princeton University's Venture Forward campaign, will name the Wilmerding Pavilion and the Anschutz Galleries in the new Princeton University Art Museum. The pavilion honors the late John Wilmerding, a pioneering American art historian and professor at Princeton, while the galleries within it will showcase the museum's American art collections. The museum opens on October 31, 2025, and the new space will allow a nearly five-fold increase in displayed works, including a broader definition of American art encompassing Spanish Colonial and Native American art.

Venture Forward gifts name Wilmerding Pavilion and Anschutz Galleries in Princeton University Art Museum

Two major gifts to Princeton University's Venture Forward campaign will name the Wilmerding Pavilion and the Anschutz Galleries in the new Princeton University Art Museum, opening October 31, 2025. The Wilmerding Pavilion, named by donor Louisa Stude Sarofim in honor of the late John Wilmerding, will house the museum's American art collections, while The Anschutz Foundation has named the five individual galleries within the pavilion. Wilmerding was a pioneering American art historian, curator, and collector who taught at Princeton and helped define the field.
