  The UMMA seeks to transform individual and civic life by promoting the discovery, contemplation, and enjoyment of the art of our world. One of the finest university art museums in the country, UMMA holds collections representing 150 years of art collecting. A schedule of special exhibitions and interpretative programs connects visitors with the rich artistic legacy of the past and today’s avant-garde.

From the research and study uses of the works of art in the Museum’s collections, to the teaching implications of all of our temporary exhibitions, the Museum plays a central role in the academic life of the University, even as it connects to broad regional and national community audiences.
