The collection currently numbers over 1100 works, including early oil paintings by Cezanne and Renoir, watercolors by Delacroix, Pre-Columbian artifacts, a large oil painting by Anna Elizabeth Klumpke, sculptures by Jean Arp, Clyde Connell, William King and Maria Artemis, a gouache by Amelia Peláez and prints by Jasper Johns.

The works are exhibited throughout campus buildings and occasionally in thematic exhibitions. In 1990, the 1914 neoclassic library was renovated to house the Simmons Visual Arts Center and Jean Westmacott became the second gallery director. The March 1991 inaugural exhibition, Retrospective of Jasper Johns Prints from the Leo Castelli Collection, launched the museum education program that developed into a combination of tours and hands-on workshops for many area schoolchildren.
