The Davis Museum is an art museum located on the Wellesley College campus in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The college art collection was first displayed in the Farnsworth Art Building, founded in 1889. The museum in its present form opened in 1993 in a building designed by Rafael Moneo.[1]

The permanent collection of about 11,000 objects ranges from antiquity to the present day.

The artists represented in the collection include:

A large, recently restored mosaic from Antioch, excavated in a joint expedition with the Worcester Art Museum, is also present.[3]
