Though art collection at the university dates back to its very founding, the [[Princeton University Art Museum]] was not officially established until 1882 by President McCosh. Its establishment arose from a desire to provide direct access to works of art in a museum for a curriculum in the arts, an education system familiar to many European universities at the time. The museum took on the purposes of providing "exposure to original works of art and to teach the history of art through an encyclopedic collection of world art."<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/about/history|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428075435/https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/about/history|archive-date=April 28, 2021|access-date=July 8, 2021|website=Princeton University Art Museum|publisher=Princeton University}}</ref>
