Division holdings comprise works of art as well as reference materials on painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, decorative arts, fashion, and the history of architecture from throughout the world from antiquity to the present. The Wallach Division also serves as the access points to the Spencer Collection of fine bindings and illustrated books and the Picture Collection.
