Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester
The Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester, New York is a journey through more than 5,000 years of art history. From the relics of antiquity to works in the vanguard of contemporary movements, the Gallery offers a panorama of the world's art.
The Gallery's permanent collection of more than 10,000 objects has been called the best balanced in the state outside of metropolitan New York City. In addition to its collection, the Gallery offers a year-round schedule of temporary exhibitions, lectures, concerts, tours and family activities.
The Gallery was founded in 1913 by Emily Sibley Watson as a memorial to her son, architect James Averell. Given in trust to the University of Rochester, it is one of the few university-affiliated art museums in the country that also serve as community art museums. Today it is supported primarily by its membership, the University of Rochester and public funding from Monroe County, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Institute of Museum & Library Services, a Federal agency.
