If there’s something in our collection you would like to see, you don’t have to wait for a curator to put it on display. The Eleanor Henry Reed Collection Study Center makes our permanent collection accessible to everyone. This resource enables scholars, educators, students, artists, and the community in general to connect more directly with the Henry and our collection.

Please note: The Study Center is closed for collection care until further notice. Please check back for updates.

Temporary Closure

The Study Center is closed for collection care until further notice.

We appreciate your patience while the Study Center is closed and look forward to welcoming you back soon. In the meantime, we invite you to browse the Henry's Collection via our online database. For specific inquiries or questions, please email Dr. Ann Poulson, Curator of Collections, at contact-collections@henryart.org.

On View For You

Much of the Henry's collection — paintings, sculpture, ceramics, costumes and textiles, prints and drawings, and photographs — is available online, as well as in-person when the Study Center reopens.

For those who want to go deeper, the Study Center also offers access to object and artist files, a reference library of more than 5,000 volumes, and a computer station with collection search tools. It’s an invaluable resource to discover the stories behind the objects and the artists who created them.

Upon reopening, visitors are invited to use the online collection database and other collection resources to make their selection prior to booking an appointment. You may request up to 20 objects from the collection for viewing; however, not all objects may be available due to age, size, fragility, and accessibility. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Study Center soon.
