Lowe Art Museum, Art museum at University of Miami in Coral Gables, US.
The Lowe Art Museum is an art museum on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, Florida, displaying works spanning five millennia across fourteen galleries. The collection covers paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and objects from cultures around the world, organized around thematic groupings rather than a strict chronological order.
The museum opened in 1950 after Joe and Emily Lowe donated the funds to build it on the university grounds. It received official accreditation in 1972, which helped it grow into a recognized institution in the southeastern United States.
The museum sits on the University of Miami campus and draws both students and outside visitors throughout the week. Works from North America, Europe, and Africa hang close together, making it easy to spot connections between different traditions as you walk through.
The museum sits in the middle of the University of Miami campus and is easy to reach on foot from the main entrance, with parking available close by. It is open Wednesday through Saturday, and there is no admission fee, so no budget is needed to visit.
The museum has a dedicated pavilion, the Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion, set aside entirely for contemporary glass and ceramics, which is rare for a university collection. More than one hundred works fill this space, giving a modern art form its own room within an otherwise wide-ranging collection.
