Mission
The University of Maryland Art Gallery is committed to collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting art from around the world. Beyond gathering objects, we also gather stories—preserving and sharing the rich narratives that shape artistic expression. Our exceptional teaching collection, spanning from antiquity to the present, offers students, faculty, and the community a unique opportunity to engage with the breadth and depth of human creativity under one roof. Through dynamic exhibitions and educational programs, we foster a deeper appreciation of artistic traditions and innovations across cultures and time periods.
