The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery is the newest addition to the Skidmore campus. Dedicated in the fall of 2000, it showcases both locally curated and visiting exhibitions, and houses classrooms, space for the Skidmore art collection, and offices.
The building is fully accessible, with reserved parking in both the Case Center lot to the north and West lot to the southwest.
The museum was founded by a donation from Oscar Tang, a New York City investment manager and philanthropist, and named for his late first wife, Frances Young Tang '61. Oscar Tang is also the father of Kristen Tang '92. A native of Shanghai, with a Yale B.S. and a Harvard M.B.A., Oscar Tang founded the investment firm Reich & Tang, which later combined with Nvest. He is now a private investor and chair of KOA Holdings. He is a longtime trustee of the China Institute of New York City; a founder of the Committee of 100, a national organization committed to Asia-America understanding; and a trustee of, and art donor to, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where a new gallery for Chinese art was recently named for Frances Young Tang.
