Lowe Art Museum

Lowe Art Museum is an art museum at the University of Miami in Coral Gables that houses around 19,250 works in fourteen thematically organized galleries. The collection spans five millennia of artistic works across continents, showing how cultures developed different forms of creative expression.

The museum was founded in 1950 when Joe and Emily Lowe donated it to the university, and it became an important art venue in the region from the start. It received official accreditation in 1972, which established its role as a recognized cultural institution.

The museum displays works from different cultures and time periods, including American crafts, European paintings, and African objects that together show how various societies expressed their world visually. The gallery spaces are arranged so visitors can experience these works in thematic relationships.

The museum is located on the university campus and is easy to reach by foot or car, with parking available nearby. Regular hours run Wednesday through Saturday, and admission is free, making it an accessible place to visit for everyone.

The Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion was a major expansion and displays over one hundred contemporary glass artworks and ceramics that form a specialized collection. These works are presented in a dedicated space that gives particular attention to this modern art form.
