Trout Gallery
The Trout Gallery, along with housing Dickinson College's permanent collections of art--which range in time from Classical Greece to the 20th Century--maintains a varied and frequently changing exhibition schedule of historical, contemporary and multicultural materials. The Trout Gallery is, at once, an educational branch of the College and a fine arts museum for the Carlisle/Greater Harrisburg area. The Gallery serves the college community as an interdisciplinary resource for studio art, art history, modern languages, international studies, and classical archeology courses. Within the Department of Art & Art History, the Gallery offers advanced art history majors the yearly opportunity to curate an exhibition of objects from the College's collections. Internships in the Gallery are offered to superior art majors during their senior year.
