The permanent collection is an important measure of a museum’s value. And PAAM’s holdings of local and regional art is extensive and dynamic, comprising over 2,400 works by 600 twentieth century and contemporary artists who have worked in Provincetown and on Cape Cod. Their styles are noteworthy in the history of American Art. The collection weaves together at least three major art movements— each a significant strand of American art history— and creates perspectives that uniquely position the Provincetown art colony as pertinent to the larger art world.
