Directions, Parking and Accessibility: The University Art Museum is located one block north of the Rotunda on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. The Museum is handicapped accessible. Admission is free; donations are welcome. Limited parking is available behind the Museum. Additional parking is available in other University visitor lots (Emmet Street) and in commercial lots (Elliewood Avenue) nearby. The Permanent Collection: The University Museum maintains a collection of over 10,000 objects in support of our mission to create an environment in which the largest possible share of our diverse constituencies can study and learn from the direct experience of works of art. To this end, the Museum acquires, preserves, studies, exhibits and interprets works of the highest quality in a variety of media that represent the world's cultures throughout time. The Galleries exhibit American and European painting and sculpture of the 15th -19th centuries including art from the "Age of Thomas Jefferson" (1775-1825); art from the ancient Mediterranean; Asian art; and 20th century art. Highlights of the collection of 20th-century paintings, sculpture and works on paper include American figurative art and photography. Temporary Exhibitions: Each year the Museum presents 10-12 temporary exhibitions drawn from the collections and sources nationwide. The collection of Old Master and later prints and photography, as well as ethnographic holdings - African, Native American, Oceanic, and pre-Columbian art - are presented in temporary exhibitions and are available for viewing by appointment. |
