About the Museum
Karl Weston, the museum's founder and first director, established the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) in 1926 to provide Williams College students with the opportunity for firsthand observation of fine works of art. The museum has a national reputation as one of the finest college art museums in the country with 12,000 objects in the permanent collection.

Williams College is located in the center of Williamstown,
along Route 2 (Main Street), next to the junction of Routes 2 and 7 in the
northwest corner of 
Massachusetts.
We are about one hour's drive from the Massachusetts Turnpike and Interstates

hours; from Albany, NY, about one hour; and a good two hours from Bradley
International Airport outside of Hartford, CT.
