The Picker Art Gallery is a fine arts museum that is housed in the Dana Arts Center at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. It was named after Evelyn Picker, class of '36 and trustee emeritus, and opened in 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/campus-life/arts-on-campus/picker-art-gallery|title=Picker Art Gallery|work=colgate.edu}}</ref> The Museum houses 11,000-some art objects in its permanent collections. Highlights include old master paintings from Europe, woodblock prints from China and Japan, and a series of original photographs from famed Soviet wartime photographer [[Yevgeny Khaldei]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.colgate.edu/campus-life/arts-on-campus/picker-art-gallery/collections|title=Collections - Picker Art Gallery}}</ref> 

Since 2013, there have been plans to move the Picker collection to a new facility, which Colgate University has named the Center for Art and Culture.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.colgate.edu/2013/07/architect-david-adjaye-presents-design-for-center-for-art-and-culture.html|title=Architect David Adjaye presents design for Center for Art and Culture|work=Colgate University News}}</ref> 

====Exhibitions====
In 2013, the Picker Art Museum launched an online campaign to display works as a digital exhibition, their first being "Selected Old Masters From the Picker Art Gallery".<ref name="pickeroldmasters.omeka.net">{{cite web|url=http://pickeroldmasters.omeka.net|title=Selected Old Masters from the Picker Art Gallery|work=omeka.net|access-date=2014-04-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413235824/http://pickeroldmasters.omeka.net/|archive-date=2014-04-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> Other than this online gallery, all exhibition, and educational programs have been temporarily ceased due to the university's thorough assessment of the works in anticipation for the move to the new Center for Arts and Culture.
