Arts & Culture

Established in 1965, the University of Maryland Art Gallery collects, displays, and interprets art from diverse cultures. Our exceptional teaching collection includes over 5,000 objects ranging from antiquity to the present, donated by UMD alumni and gallery supporters. By bringing world-class art to College Park, the UMD Art Gallery serves as a public gathering point for acknowledging, discussing, and debating the long and complex history of past human affairs as well as addressing the most important issues of our time.
