Our distinguished outdoor art program includes figurative and abstract works in a variety of media by artists ranging from the late 19th century through the present installed all across camput. As of April 12, visitors are welcome to view works installed in the Arts, Athletics and Community Zones only. Other zones on campus, including the core academic campus, will remain limited to approved students, faculty and staff to support teaching and research activities. A campus map showing the locations of the different campus zones is available here.
The Cantor Arts Center is located at the intersection of Museum Way and Lomita Drive in the heart of the arts district on the Stanford campus.
Parking is limited. Stanford has a new contactless web/app system to pay for parking. Prior to your visit, we recommend you visit the Stanford Transportation website to learn more about the new visitor parking process.
All photos must be for personal and non-commercial use. Wedding, prom, and portrait photography is not permitted either indoors or outside. Please refer to our Museum Policies for further information.
Galleries, gardens, restrooms, and the Cool Café are all accessible by wheelchair when they are open. There is an accessible drop-off point on Lomita Drive and a ramp leading to the south entrance. Wheelchairs are available for visitors’ use.
The Cantor Arts Center plays a leading role in the cultural life of the Stanford campus and greater community, welcoming some 200,000 visitors a year. Its collections include more than 38,000 works of art, spanning 5,000 years of history and crossing continents from the Americas to Europe, and from Africa to Asia. We look forward to reopening our 24 galleries at limited capacity. Our vibrant family programs, lectures, art classes and special events will continue online until it is safe to assemble groups in again. We can't do all of this without our members.
