The Peggy L. Osher Art Study and Collection Committee Conference Room

The Peggy L. Osher Art Study and Collection Committee Conference Room offers students, scholars, and members of the public unprecedented access to the PMA collection.

The Peggy L. Osher Art Study Room and Collection Committee Conference Room (OASR) provides access to works of art not currently on view in the museum to members of the public, students, and scholars. Whether you want to view a Picasso lithograph with your students, research the drawings of Marguerite Thompson Zorach, or surprise a loved one with a selection of artworks by their favorite artist, the OASR is the perfect place to explore the PMA’s collection of more than 19,000 objects.

In addition, the OASR serves as dedicated multipurpose space for internal exhibition planning and collection review, hosting staff, docent, and Trustee educational training sessions, providing behind-the-scenes tours for special interest groups, and serving as an internal studio for ongoing photography of collection objects.
