The Permanent Collection at the International Museum of Art & Science has served to educate the curious, enrich the intellects, and exemplify the interests and generosity of the community of the Rio Grande Valley since its historic beginning some forty years ago.
Currently on exhibit, in a newly-dedicated space reserved especially for the Permanent Collection, are objects that represent the dedication that is characteristic of the International Museum of Art & Science and its mission to the community.

The exhibition includes a selection from the Caton Collection of European paintings from the 16th to the 19th Century donated by Dr. and Mrs. McKee Caton. The Watland Collection is represented with a Danish Landscape by P.F. Lund, and a group of exquisite Japanese prints. Selections of Modern Art, including examples of Abstract Expressionism and Op-Art, illustrate a legacy beginning with donations by Charles and Dorothy Clark and continued by their son Kirk Clark. Contributions, in the form of a generous donation by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Schultz, of lithographs by Pablo Picasso, the Suite of Imaginary Portraits, serve to highlight and accent the exhibit. Acquisitions from the Collection of Glen Bruner, Jr. include prints from a diversity of styles such as Pop, Abstract, and Minimalism. A selection from an international range of pieces donated to IMAS by many supporters to the museum are also included, as well as a taste of art collected from regional artists from the Rio Grande Valley and Northern Tamaulipas, Mexico.

The museum’s geological collection and the Folk Art representing cultures from Mexico, Africa, and Asia have a major presence and crown with color and expression the highlights from the IMAS collections vault.
