As in every area of the collection, diversity marks the Museum's sculpture collection. Works by Alexander Calder, Elizabeth Catlett, Harry Bertoia, Joseph Cornell, Judy Pfaff, George Rickey, Auguste Rodin, John Scott, and John Storrs can be periodically found in the museum. The collection also includes four kinetic pieces that were the focus of a special 2002 exhibition, Art in Motion. However, due to their size and space requirements they cannot all be displayed simultaneously in the current facility.
