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.
The Permanent Collection The museum’s collection consists of 18th through 21st century European, Asian and American art works. Selections from the permanent collection are on view on a rotating basis. In addition to the permanent collection, the 11,000 sq. ft. of gallery space features changing exhibitions of regional, national and international art.
