Known forartmuseumcultureuniversity
The largest university art museum in the US, holding over 21,000 works spanning European masters, Latin American modernism, and contemporary American art. The permanent collection is genuinely world-class and the rotating exhibitions are consistently excellent. Ellsworth Kelly's monumental 'Austin' chapel on the grounds is a must-see meditative space. Free on Thursdays, which draws a lively crowd of students and locals.
