The University of Virginia's main art museum, located on the western edge of the UVA campus. The permanent collection covers American art, African sculpture, ancient works, and prints and drawings. Admission is free. The connected Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, 3 kilometres away at 400 Worrell Drive, is the only museum outside Australia dedicated to Aboriginal Australian art; also free and open to the public.
Fralin Museum of Art at UVA
A story
The Fralin is the University of Virginia's main art museum and one of the better small university art museums in the American South. The collection spans 5,000 years and includes significant holdings in American art, African art, and works on paper. The Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, housed in a separate building in Charlottesville, is part of the same institution — it is the only museum outside Australia dedicated to the display of Aboriginal Australian art, which is an unusual thing to find in a Virginia university town.
