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 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 support ten to twelve
original 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 educational programs typically reach more than 80,000 guests per year
and were recognized recently by the Institute of Museum and Library Services
as a National Medal Finalist. The Taubman Museum of Art is also among only
one-third of museums in the nation to offer free general daily admission.
