Comprising one-third of the permanent collection, the Works on Paper collection consists of nearly 10,000 photographs, drawings, prints, and other works on paper. As this collection grows and ages, addressing access and long-term preservation is one of our highest priorities.

The Works on Paper Study Center Endowment
“The expanded space in the Goode Works on Paper Center will face public galleries and greatly improve accessibility and make the Museum’s collection more available to visitors, artists, students, and scholars. This monumental gift advances the Chrysler’s mission of bringing art and people together, raising awareness about the Chrysler’s significant holdings and inviting closer engagement.” –Erik Neil, The Macon and Joan Brock Director

Architectural Renderings
The Goode Works on Paper Center
The Center will include dedicated space to house a growing collection of more than 10,000 photographs, drawings, prints, and other works on paper and a study room that will significantly improve public access to the collection. Currently, when visitors request to view these works, art handlers must retrieve them from storage, place them on carts to transport them to a common area, and ensure that a docent and security officer are present.
The initial architectural renderings from Work Program Architects highlight accessibility to the space, provide room for classes and study groups, and enable Museum staff to perform collections care and recordkeeping in the space. A full-time associate in the Goode Works on Paper Center will serve the public needs as well as curatorial research requests
The creation of the Works on Paper Study Center will
• improve public access to the collection
• incorporate a variety of viewing surfaces so that the number of works could be viewed safely under quality lighting
• have accompanying personnel who will allow for proper stewardship of these objects
