Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) is a hybrid institution formed by the merger of two organizations affiliated with the University of California at Berkeley. The art museum was founded in 1963, spurred by artist Hans Hofmann’s donation of forty-five paintings. The Pacific Film Archive was established in 1967 as the center of the university’s film studies. Today, BAMPFA’s encyclopedic art collection contains more than twenty-two thousand artifacts representing hundreds of global cultures that flourished over the course of more than six thousand years. Its holdings include Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty paintings, Mughal dynasty miniatures, Baroque paintings, Old Master prints and drawings, early American paintings, African American quilts, nineteenth- and twentieth-century photography, conceptual art, and international contemporary art. The film and video collection contains more than sixteen thousand items, including original prints of West Coast avant-garde films, examples of early animation, Soviet cinema, video art, and the most extensive collection of Japanese films outside Japan. BAMPFA regularly hosts lectures by scholars and filmmakers.
