Smith College Museum of Art, located in Northampton, Massachusetts, is widely acknowledged as one of the most important art collections at an American liberal arts college. Established in 1879 as a contemporary American collection, the museum houses nearly 25,000 works of art, with particular strength in nineteenth and early twentieth century art. Highlights include an extraordinary and internationally recognized collection of nineteenth century French paintings, with works from Degas, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin and Cezanne, superb early twentieth century works by Picasso, Gris, and Kirchner, a significant collection of paintings by American artists such as Thomas Eakins and John Singleton Copley, and impressive collections of prints, drawings, photographic prints and gravures spanning several centuries.

The Smith College Botanic Garden, with 6,600 different kinds of plants flourishing throughout Smith's 150-acre campus, is an arboretum, a living museum of plants. The Botanic Garden includes a series of outdoor gardens, as well as the Lyman Conservatory-a 12,000 square foot arrangement of glasshouses dating from 1895 to 1981.
