The spookiest art at the Syracuse University Art Museum
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The New York Times compiled what one reporter considered the scariest art at the Big Apple’s renowned Metropolitan Museum of Art as an homage to the Halloween spirit. For the Big Orange, the Syracuse University campus has its own art collection ranging from ancient antiquities to contemporary works.
So take a gander at our city’s array of spooky art. Under each work of art is its title, artist, medium, and the year it was made. All images here, from the collection of the Syracuse University Art Museum, are from prior to 1930 and are in the public domain.
