The museum is spread over several themes including Asian Art, African Art, Ancient American Art, Ancient Mediterranean Art, American Painting and Sculpture, and several others. Over these distinct categories the museum presents an expansive range of artworks that has much to offer purveyors of art.

One other notable collection is "The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection" which was a donation from Wendy Reves after her husband passed away. This special collection is housed inside a 15,000 square foot replica of the house in France that the Reves' lived in that adds an unusual charm to the collection.
