GSA Fine Arts Collection

The Fine Arts Collection (http://www.gsa.gov/fa/#/) is one of our nation’s oldest and largest public art collections. It consists of permanently installed and moveable mural paintings, sculpture, architectural or environmental works of art, and works on paper dating from 1850 to the present. These civic works of art are in federal buildings and courthouses across the United States.  Maintained by GSA as a part of our national and cultural heritage, the Fine Arts Collection serves as a reminder of the important tradition of individual creative expression.  Searchable by state – check out the art works in Ohio!
