Its world-renowned collection, which exceeds 8,500 objects, is significant for its depth of important European and American paintings and sculptures, as well as its extensive holdings of decorative and applied arts.

The FIA is committed to making art available, approachable, and accessible to all by providing multiple ways of accessing information on the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. These include guided tours; lectures and community dialogues; art classes, workshops, and studio demonstrations; gallery, studio, and outreach programs for PreK-12, Head Start, and homeschool students; films and videos; and print, audio, and multimedia resources.
