Princeton University Art Museum Opening Countdown:
2 Weeks
Princeton University Art Museum will serve as a ‘town square for the arts and humanities’ when it opens to the public on October 31.
James Steward, the Nancy A. Nasher-David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, Director of the Princeton University Art Museum, recently discussed the University's vision for the new museum and the exciting opportunities the new museum building will make possible. The new museum roughly doubles the space for exhibition allowing the museum to display more of its collection and offering endless possibilities for engaging with art from around the world.
“The world of art sets a potent model for the importance of the things that unite us, and for expanding our understanding and empathy for that which is different,” Steward said.

Princeton University Concerts
Belcea String Quartet
Back by popular demand for their third appearance on our series, the Belcea Quartet returns with the kind of electrifying intensity that makes time stand still. “Still playing like a young quartet, seizing the music’s energy, shocking us out of our seats” (The Guardian), this ensemble jumpstarts our 132nd Concert Classics Series with a program that pulses with boldness and invention. They trace a line from Mozart’s daring “Dissonance” Quartet to Beethoven’s final opus, where the string quartet is completely reimagined—raw, transcendent, and teetering on the edge of the unknown. Adding a jolt of the here and now is a new work by Australian composer Brett Dean, written for the Belcea Quartet. Music that questions, upends, and electrifies—played with a fire that cannot be extinguished.
