Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University

The Cantor Arts Center holds the largest collection of Auguste Rodin sculptures outside of Paris. Its facade features the arched colonnade of the original nineteen ninety-one Stanford Museum building, which survived the nineteen oh six earthquake with severe damage. The center exists because the Leland Stanford Junior family intended to memorialize their son through a university museum. When the quake hit, the building sat in ruins for decades until private donors financed a massive reconstruction to reopen it for the public in nineteen ninety-nine.
