A visit to one of the nation’s most outstanding collections in private hands. Thousands of pieces of art and history have been gathered and preserved from around the world.
The Pamplin Collection is one of the world’s largest gatherings of art and history in private hands – a collection that, in sheer volume and breadth—and like important collections elsewhere—could never be recreated.
Over the past 40 years, Dr. Robert Pamplin and his wife Marilyn have intentionally and carefully brought together thousands of historical artifacts and distinguished artworks characterized by their originality and historical significance. Objects have been authenticated, and valuations have been established compared to auctioned items internationally. In essence, however, the Pamplin Collection is priceless – the one-of-a-kind nature of so many pieces and the fact that they are held in a single collection make the entire assemblage absolutely irreplaceable.
