University Art Museum

 

The University Art Museum (UAM) was established in 1976 to house the art works collected by The University of Queensland since the 1940s and was one of the first universities in Australia to acquire works of art and to use bequest funds for this purpose. Today, with more than 2,500 works by Australian and international artists, the University Art Collection is Queensland's second largest public art collection.

Located in The James and Mary Emelia Mayne Centre, adjacent to the University's Great Court, the UAM researches, exhibits and publishes the work of significant Australian and, in particular, Queensland artists. For exhibition and public program information go to What's On. Reception desk located on the ground floor.
