Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Art museum in Northwestern University campus, Evanston, Illinois.
The Block Museum occupies a three-story building with multiple exhibition spaces, featuring rotating displays of contemporary art and photography collections.
Mary and Leigh Block donated funds in 1980 to Northwestern University, establishing the museum that initially followed the German kunsthalle model without permanent collections.
The museum maintains a collection of 6,000 artworks spanning from the 13th century to present day, emphasizing prints, drawings, and photographs from international artists.
Located at 40 Arts Circle Drive, the museum offers free admission and connects directly to the Wirtz Center for Performing Arts via a pedestrian pathway.
The 1989 outdoor sculpture garden presents sixteen permanent installations across the museum grounds, integrating art with the campus landscape.
