State Art Museum

Georgia Museum of Art
Athens, Georgia

The Georgia Museum of Art is located in a 52,000 square foot, state-of-the-art building with 10 galleries, an auditorium, Figgie's Café, an audio-visual theater, an art reference library, a studio classroom, a print study room and a museum shop. This facility furthers the mission of the Georgia Museum of Art to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret works of art. The museum was named the state museum of art in 1982 by the Georgia General Assembly.

Hosting a variety of culturally diverse exhibitions, approximately 20 per year, the museum draws both from its permanent collection and from other museums and private collections representing all periods of art history.
