The Toledo Museum of Art’s Works on Paper collection includes nearly 13,000 prints, drawings, photographs, and artists’ books. The museum’s broad and diverse collection includes works from as early as the 13th century, represented by a fully intact Chinese scroll, to the present. It is particularly strong in 16th – 18th century Old Master prints, 19th century French printmaking, 20th century Japanese woodblock prints, and Modern and Contemporary artists’ books. The museum’s holdings continue to expand through generous gifts and significant purchases, notably in the areas of 20th-century and contemporary works on paper. 

Though only a small portion are on display at any given time, nearly all are available to the public upon request by appointment in the Grace J. Hitchcock Works on Paper Study Room or online by visiting or by viewing our Collection online.
