The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's
Roger Brown Study Collection is a house museum, special collection, and archive. Visitors have the rare opportunity to see renowned artist Roger Brown's studio and home just as he left it upon his death. The collection includes works by Chicago Imagists, self-taught artists, folk and tribal art, objects from material and popular culture, costumes, textiles, furniture, travel souvenirs, and even a Ford Mustang parked in the garage. The building and collection now function as a laboratory where SAIC students engage in aspects of the care, organization, interpretation, and preservation of a vast collection of art and artifacts.
