History
Designed by Machado Silvetti and Gensler, The Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College provides a space for some of Southern California's most compelling and experimental exhibitions. The 33,000-square-foot facility is where the campus meets the lively Claremont Village and the city's civic center.
Specialties
The Benton utilizes carefully designed, lively, and innovative exhibitions and programs to link the creative energy of making art and experiencing art. It envisions its collections as a teaching resource, emphasizing first-hand conversation with art objects as a tool for increasing visual literacy and investigating the diversity of human experience.
