The diverse collection at Plattsburgh State University's art museum offers both students and local residents an opportunity to see and appreciate art in its original form. Recently, the Plattsburgh State Student Association's Art Acquisition Committee acquired a Rembrandt etching. The artist, one of the leading printmakers of all time, represents the very essence of Dutch 17th century humanism.

In an audio slideshow, Edward Brohel, director of the art museum, explains the motivation behind purchasing prestigious works of art. Each purchase, of course, enhances the artistic study collection, which represents a diverse collection, both culturally and stylistically. Brohel discusses the highlights of, what he sees, as the top four works and reasons for their selection.
