In keeping with our mission, The Fralin Museum of Art at The University of Virginia encourages the spirit of curiosity and promotes diversity of thought through the study, care, and celebration of art.
The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia maintains a comprehensive collection of more than 13,000 works of art, including American and European painting, works on paper, photography, and sculpture from the 15th through the 21st centuries; art from the ancient Mediterranean; Asian art; and Native and ancient American art. This growing collection allows The Fralin to engage in broad cultural conversations based on meaningful object-based learning and ideas.
