Blaffer Art Museum, Contemporary art museum at University of Houston, United States.

The Blaffer Art Museum is a contemporary art museum within a modernized Fine Arts Building at the University of Houston. Its galleries feature rotating exhibitions dedicated to current and emerging artistic practices.

Founded in 1973 as the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Gallery, it honored Sarah Campbell Blaffer, who had made major artworks from the 15th century to modern day available to the university. That collection was sold in 1979 to the independent Blaffer Foundation, and its proceeds partly fund the museum's programs. The gallery expanded in 1999, was renamed Blaffer Art Museum in 2010, and reopened a Work Architecture Co. redesign on October 12, 2012.

The museum's name honors Sarah Campbell Blaffer, whose collection of 15th-century to modern art was sold in 1979 to the independent Blaffer Foundation and now resides at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; income from the sale helps fund exhibitions. UHReach, begun in 1988, trains University of Houston and Texas Southern University students as docents for dialogue-based tours in 18 nearby schools.

The museum occupies the Fine Arts Building on the University of Houston campus in the Arts District; the entrance is reached from the campus side, and the galleries are spread over two levels connected by stairs and a lift. Admission is free, and the museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, closing on Sundays and Mondays. Visitors arriving by car use campus parking nearby, and the building can also be reached on foot from the surrounding university streets.

The institution runs an apprenticeship program for high school students who create work during the school year through guided artistic practice. Their finished pieces are displayed in exhibitions within the museum.
