The Brooks’ collection of works on paper consists of more than 5,000 prints, drawings, photographs, and artists’ books. It spans nearly six centuries but is strongest in early-20th century American works. These collections are periodically displayed in the permanent collection galleries and in smaller thematic presentations throughout the museum. Patrons, teachers, or students interested in specific works may make an appointment to view them in the Marcus Orr Print Room by calling the Registrar’s Office at 901.544.6234 or 901.544.6235.
