About the Addison: Intended by its founder Thomas Cochran to “cultivate and foster…a love for the beautiful," the Addison Gallery of American Art is an academic museum that serves as a resource for the students of Phillips Academy and is recognized as a world-class center of American art. Our collection includes more than 16,000 works of art and we offer a variety of changing exhibitions that travel to venues around the globe.
