About the Taubman Museum of Art
As the largest art museum in southwestern Virginia, the Taubman Museum
of Art serves as the region’s premier destination for world-class arts and
culture.
Founded in 1951 as the Roanoke Fine Arts Center, the Museum now resides
in a landmark facility designed by renowned architect Randall Stout and was
named one of the nation’s best designed museums by Architectural Digest.
The Museum’s collection focuses on American art and includes more than
2,200 works from artists such as Romare Bearden, Thomas Hart Benton,
Thomas Eakins, Audrey Flack, Robert Henri, Judith Leiber, Sally Mann,
Norman Rockwell, John Singer Sargent, and Purvis Young; twelve galleries
showcase twelve to fifteen exhibitions per year.
With a mission of bringing people and art together for discovery, learning,
and enjoyment, the Museum’s exhibitions as well as community engagement
and education programs typically reach more than 80,000 people annually.
The Taubman Museum of Art is proud to continue its commitment to
barrier-free access to its galleries through free general admission supported
in part by AEP Foundation—a service to the community only one third of
museums nationwide offer.
