The Janet Turner Print Museum at California State University, Chico opened in 1981 around Janet E. Turner’s gift of 2,000 prints from her personal collection. Named for the American artist and printmaker who taught at the university from 1959 to 1981, it connects her artistic career and long teaching service to campus cultural life. Open to the public with free admission, the museum has grown into a permanent collection of more than 4,000 prints from over 40 countries, including works by major artists. It moved to a new Arts and Humanities building in 2016 and has continued expanding through donations, online access, and award-winning museum education programs.
