University of Maryland Art Gallery

The University of Maryland Art Gallery was established in 1966 and endowed with its first major collection of prints and drawings from Martin W. Brown. Initially housed in the Tawes Fine Arts Center, the Gallery moved into an expanded site located in the Art-Sociology Building (currenty Parren J. Mitchell Art-Sociology Building) in 1976. The nearly 3,000 objects that make up the Gallery's holdings are due in large part to the kindness of its supporters and donors over the past five decades. 

 

Since its founding, the Gallery has become a leading academic museum with one of the most diverse university collections in the Greater Washington, D.C region. Masterpieces from the collection include works by John Baldessari, Lee Krasner, Honoré Daumier, Paul Reed, Rembrandt van Rijin, Maurice de Vlaminck, Andy Warhol, as well as art from Africa, Asia, and South America.
