This post presents a list of objects related to Polish cultural heritage in the collection of the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University (Cantor Arts Center at Stanford). The listing is based on publicly available information in museum catalogues and the author's independent findings. It is preliminary in nature and further updating and revision is planned.

Our aim is not only to document the presence of these works in the museum's collection, but also - in the future - to expand the database with information on their provenance (origin), exhibition history and detailed artistic analyses.

Due to current copyright regulations, we cannot publish reproductions of most works. However, where possible, we provide links to the official museum catalogue, which includes images or additional information.

Unless otherwise stated, the objects were not on display at the time of publication and were outside the exhibition galleries. It is worth remembering that even works marked 'on display' may have been removed and may be temporarily unavailable.

Every effort is made to ensure that the information presented is reliable and up-to-date. However, the museum's collections are subject to change - if you notice inaccuracies or changes in the status of objects, please contact us.

The Cantor Arts Center is a visual arts centre located on the grounds of Stanford University in California. The collections and history of the site are closely tied to the academic and cultural tradition of the university, which has long promoted and supported the arts and arts education.

Stanford University was founded in 1885 by Leland and Jane Stanford as a memorial to their late son, Leland Stanford Jr. Since its inception, the arts have played an important role in the university's educational mission. In 1891, shortly after the university opened, Jane Stanford, Leland Stanford's widow, began building an art museum on campus. This museum was to bring together works of art from around the world, as well as archaeological and ethnographic collections.

Stanford University's art collection has grown over the years through donations, purchases and exhibitions. An important moment in the history of the collection was the establishment of the Cantor Arts Center (full name: Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University) in 1894, which became the main art museum on campus.

In 1989. The Cantor Arts Center closed for several years due to severe damage from the Loma Prieta earthquake. After extensive renovation and expansion, the museum reopened in 1999 and has been a key part of Stanford's cultural and artistic life ever since.
