The
Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum is a cultural
beacon for Acadiana. With its collection of artworks
from Europe, Asia, Central America, and the United States traversing
the 18th to 21st
centuries, the museum promotes exposure to original works of
art to University
students, faculty, and staff as well as the Lafayette community
and region. Through research, collection, programs, publications,
and exhibitions, the University Art Museum encourages the study
and appreciation of all visual arts.
The
University Art Museum is a dynamic, education-oriented museum
that serves
as a center for interdisciplinary learning.
It enriches the University of
Louisiana at Lafayette’s educational mission to a traditional liberal arts and sciences
education. The museum seeks to be a tool from which students
and scholars may advance knowledge, cultivate aesthetic sensibility,
and improve the material conditions of humankind. The museum
seeks to achieve these goals through its commitment to collect,
preserve, research, interpret, instruct, and present significant
works of art and design from all periods of history. Varied
programming is designed to meet the educational and cultural
needs of Louisiana’s highly diverse population and to
foster intellectual discourse among faculty, students, staff,
and our community.
