The Collections

The Ringling Museum of Art has a diverse collection comprised of nearly 14,000 objects of European, American and Asian art and continues to grow. In 2002, the Koger Collection of Chinese ceramics, which spans over four millennia of Chinese ceramics, was donated to the Museum.  In 2006, Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt made a combined pledge of her collection of Chinese jades, stone sculptures, bronzes, and other works. The Ringling Museum also collects modern and contemporary art, and presents temporary exhibitions from its own collections.
