Georgia Museum of Art, Art museum at University of Georgia in Athens, United States.
The Georgia Museum of Art is an art museum on the University of Georgia campus that houses roughly 17,000 works. The collection spans American paintings, European art, and decorative pieces from the American South.
The museum was founded in 1945 through the Eva Underhill Holbrook Memorial Collection, featuring works by John Singer Sargent and Georgia O'Keeffe. This founding collection established the foundation for its current range of holdings.
The museum displays works by African American artists and Renaissance pieces from the Samuel H. Kress Study Collection. You will find perspectives and voices here that often receive less attention in other exhibition spaces.
The museum is located on the university campus in Athens and offers free admission to all visitors. Guided group tours can be arranged in advance if you are visiting with a larger party.
The Jane and Harry Willson Sculpture Garden features rotating exhibitions of female sculptors throughout the year. This dedicated outdoor space provides a different perspective on artistic practice and makes the garden a distinctive part of the museum experience.
