Visit the Museum

From masterworks of European and American Art of the last century to a world-famous collection of traditional African arts, the University of Iowa Museum of Art's more than 12,000-piece collection will intrigue, delight, and provoke.

The Flood of 2008 devastated the entire UI campus. Although the UIMA collection was saved, the Museum of Art building was deemed unsuitable for the return of artwork.

Through the use of temporary facilities and creative outreach, the Museum continues to offer the invaluable experience of art to the University, the community, the state of Iowa, and beyond. The Museum remains steadfast in its mission despite losing its permanent facility and continues to:

• Build and preserve its remarkable art collection
• Present ground-breaking exhibitions
• Offer K-12 programming for hundreds of Iowa students each year
• Create opportunities for UI art students and faculty, including access to works from the UIMA collection
• Provide free community programming including openings, lectures, and readings
