Fresno Art Museum, Art museum in central Fresno, United States.
The Fresno Art Museum is an art museum in Fresno housing more than 3,800 artworks, including paintings, prints, and sculptures from local and international artists. The collection spans contemporary works alongside historical pieces representing different cultures and periods.
The museum was founded in 1949 and moved to its current location at Radio Park in 1960. This move allowed the institution to grow and serve the community with a larger space for exhibitions.
The collection includes Mexican and Pre-Columbian artworks that span thousands of years, showing how different regions developed their own artistic styles and techniques. These objects help visitors understand the creative traditions of West Mexican, Yucatan, and Andean cultures.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace. Plan to spend a few hours to properly view the various collections and exhibitions throughout the space.
The museum has hosted major exhibitions of feminist art, including Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, which attracted art lovers from across the country. This recognition helped establish the institution as an important venue for contemporary and historical artwork.
