The Lion at the Museum

Penn State Nittany Lion Art by Tom Mosser

The Lion at the Museum is the newest chapter in Tom Mosser’s acclaimed Museum Series, a collection of art-history-inspired dog and mascot paintings that began in 2013 with the viral phenomenon A Golden Retriever at the Museum.

This powerful Penn State artwork features the iconic Nittany Lion, seated in quiet reflection while gazing at a dramatic painting of roaring fans in the middle of a legendary Penn State White Out at Beaver Stadium. The contrast between the calm observer and the electric energy of one of college football’s most iconic moments creates a striking and emotional tribute to Penn State pride.

Perfect for alumni, fans, and collectors, The Lion at the Museum has quickly become one of Tom’s most sought-after Penn State wall art and Penn State art prints, blending school spirit, storytelling, and fine art craftsmanship.

By popular request, Tom will also add a hand-painted Penn State scarf to the lion at no additional charge, creating a personalized and truly one-of-a-kind piece. As with all Museum Series prints, Tom individually hand-embellishes each work, ensuring that no two prints are exactly alike.

Whether displayed in a home, office, or game-day space, The Lion at the Museum is a bold celebration of Penn State football, tradition, and the passion of Nittany Lion fans everywhere.
