Home > Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts

Stanford University Museum of Art (SUMA) is associated with Stanford University and was established 1891 (simultaneous with the University) by Leland and Jane Stanford. It has since been renamed the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts in honor of the couple's gift to rebuild and store the museum after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The renovated and revitalized Museum was re-opened in 1999.

One of the highlights of the Cantor Center is the Rodin sculpture garden which contains 20 bronzes. Among them are the famous Gates of Hell , Adam, Eve, The Three Shades , and The Burghers of Calais which is actually displayed at the Stanford Main Quad. In addition The Thinker is normally displayed near Stanford's Meyer Library, but is on loan as of 2004. In total, the Cantors donated 187 of Rodin's works, many which are not in the sculpture garden, Stanford University has the second largest Rodin collection in the world.
