Bellarmine Museum of Art
 

Publicly inaugurated in the fall of 2010, the Bellarmine Museum of Art (BMA) is housed in the University’s signature building on campus, Bellarmine Hall. The award-winning BMA stewards a rich and varied collection of paintings, sculpture, decorative art objects and works on paper, including ten paintings from the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods; a large selection of historic plaster casts after canonical works from ancient Greece and Rome; a range of non-Western art objects, including pre-Columbian figures, Chinese funerary objects from the Han and Tang Dynasties and 19th-century South East Asian sculptures; and twenty objects from the Celtic, late Antique, Medieval and Renaissance periods on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art/The Cloisters Museum. The BMA mounts up to four special exhibitions each year. These shows, which embrace a wide range of themes and academic disciplines, are intended to enhance the museum’s permanent collection by examining artifacts through an array of viewpoints and divergent perspectives.

Hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 11 am - 4 pm, while the University is in session. Please check our website for summer hours and additional information. Admission is always free and open to the public.
