Robert Hull Fleming Museum

The Robert Hull Fleming Museum is an art museum at the University of Vermont that houses over 20,000 objects, including African sculptures, American landscapes, and European paintings from different periods. The collection spans many cultures and time periods, presented across permanent exhibitions.

The museum was founded in 1931 after the university received donations and transformed its original collection into a dedicated institution. The earliest collection dated from 1826 and grew through gifts and acquisitions.

The museum displays works from Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and many other regions, reflecting diverse artistic traditions from around the world. Visitors encounter objects from different civilizations that together offer a global overview of human creativity.

The museum is located on the University of Vermont campus and is open to the general public as well as students and faculty. Regular tours and educational programs are offered to explain the collections and their historical contexts.

The museum's Marble Court features Italian marble and decorative details honoring important figures from Vermont's history. This architectural feature connects the building to local heritage through its Colonial Revival style.
