University of Kentucky Art Museum

This university-affiliated museum provides "town and gown" communities with an opportunity to view a range of masterworks by well- and lesser-known artists from a variety of countries and times. The permanent collection includes pieces by Dürer, Lichtenstein, Chuck Close, and Rembrandt in such genres as Abstract Expressionism and American Impressionism. Textiles and regional art also find a place in the facility, which brings in traveling exhibitions and offers lectures as well. While the permanent collection is free, temporary exhibits charge varying fees.
