Located on Auburn’s campus, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art is the cultural heart of an Alabama public research institution serving students, faculty and Southeastern constituents since 2003. The university art collection features works spanning the 17th to 21st centuries and includes photographs, works on paper depicting the South, ceramics and Southern visionary art. Holdings also includes works representing American modernism, stemming from the university’s 1948 purchase of 36 works from Advancing American Art. Artists in the U.S. State Department exhibition included women, immigrants, and artists of color, such as Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Georgia O’Keeffe; guided by that precept, the museum actively acquires, exhibits and commissions work by historically underrepresented artists to expand cultural narrative and scholarship. The inviting atrium is home to Dale Chihuly’s Amber Luster Chandelier, and visitors will also see the latest additions to Auburn’s collection on rotating display. The striking facility features changing exhibition galleries, a café, a store, extensive grounds and landscaped walking paths dotted with sculpture. Admission is free.
