Richard Ross Museum of Art
Richard Ross Museum of Art, Art museum on Ohio Wesleyan University campus in Delaware, United States
Description
The Richard M. Ross Art Museum is an art museum located within the Ohio Wesleyan University campus in Delaware, Ohio. The building displays Richardsonian-style features including terrazzo floors and Palladian windows that frame three gallery spaces.
History
The building was constructed in 1911 as a post office and served that purpose for many decades. After extensive renovation, it reopened in 2002 as an art museum, transforming the historic structure into a cultural resource for the campus.
Culture
The museum's exhibitions serve the university's educational mission, with works selected to support teaching and student learning throughout the academic year. You can sense how the space functions as both a public gallery and a classroom resource for the campus.
Practical
The museum is housed in a historic building on campus and operates regularly during the academic semester for easy access. During summer and winter breaks, advance planning is helpful as visiting hours become more limited.
Did you know?
Inside the building, visitors can spot a small original safe from the post office era tucked away in the space. This remnant shows how the historic structure preserves traces of its former life while adapting to its new role.
