University of Virginia Art Museum
Online Collection
The University of Virginia Art Museum is pleased to announce that its collection is now accessible online for study, research, and teaching purposes. Museum curators selected 1,000 works from the 12,000-object collection to be included in this initial phase. Works of art include American and European paintings, sculpture, photography, prints and drawings of the 15th–20th centuries; art from the ancient Mediterranean; and Asian, African, American Indian, Oceanic, and pre-Columbian art.
The online collection is updated regularly as new records, images, and research are added. Significant additions will appear as new portfolios. Please bookmark this page for easy access.
To experience the online collection, the following menu options are available:
- Quick Search allows you to enter one or more words. Entering the beginning of a search word will retrieve more results (e.g., "paint" instead of "painting").
- Browse the Collections and Portfolio List provide select groups from the collection, including works that will be on display in the Object Study Gallery (opening summer 2010).
- Community Portfolios may be shared with students, faculty, classmates, friends, or colleagues. To create a community portfolio, please contact the online collection administrator for a username and password.
