GeorgiaThe Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art is the fine-art museum of Kennesaw State University, tracing its roots to a campus collection begun in 1972 and a museum program organized in the 1980s. In 2011 philanthropist Bernard Zuckerman pledged $2 million toward a purpose-built home, and the two-story, roughly 9,200-square-foot contemporary building, designed by the Atlanta firm Stanley Beaman & Sears, opened on the main campus in 2014 as the first new art museum on a University System of Georgia campus in three decades. Its permanent holdings include thousands of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, a large sculptural bequest from artist Ruth Zuckerman, and the Southern Graphics Council International print archive acquired in 2012. The museum focuses on modern and contemporary work and rotating temporary exhibitions.
