About This Map
In addition to the 27,000 artworks housed in the Smith College Museum of Art, the Smith campus is home to more than a dozen publicly accessible, mostly outdoor artworks that you can visit anytime you are on campus.
This interactive map, produced collaboratively by students and staff at Smith College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst, provides information about the art, its makers and how to visit each piece.
Each stop on the map includes several related artworks in SCMA’s collection.

Due to COVID-19, visitors may choose to wear a well-fitted face mask while outside on campus. All campus buildings, including SCMA and the Lyman Conservatory, are closed.
When campus buildings reopen, you can find public restrooms in the Smith College Museum of Art, the Campus Center, and the Lyman Conservatory. Before heading out on campus, you can fill your water bottle in the Brown Fine Arts Center atrium or the Lyman Conservatory.
Please note that two of the works in this guide may not be accessible to everyone. Younès Rahmoun’s Chajara-Tupelo is located at the bottom of a steep incline. Frances Rich’s Saint Francis is at the top of a hill. Both works can be viewed from a distance from the path around Paradise Pond.
