UMMA’s website offers free digital access to the entirety of the Museum’s collection, and new content creation tools give visitors the ability to interact with that collection in brand new ways! With a free myUMMA account, you can create themed groups, save your favorite works of art, and share curated collections with friends, family, classmates, students, or the world.

Want to see Picasso before breakfast or get inspired by contemporary artists while sipping on your iced coffee? MyUMMA’s got you covered.

Now, here’s where things get really fun – myUMMA is now introducing Trending Groups. Whether it’s because you’re so Brat, or Very Cutesy Very Demure, or are still thinking about the “It’s CORN” kid three years later, Trending Groups allows everyone to create UMMA collections that connect the art at UMMA to pop culture or their latest obsession.

That is, of course, one of the great things about UMMA’s Collection — it matters and can matter for so many different people, reasons, seasons, themes, and memes.

Trending Groups will be featured on the UMMA homepage, bringing your aesthetic and artistic vision to the Museum’s online home. So, appoint yourself UMMA’s next Curator of Vibes and create and submit your trending groups today!

How’s this for a BONUS! If you create a trending group that gets selected for a homepage feature, we’ll give you a free set of our limited edition enamel pins depicting three of the most iconic pieces of art in UMMA’s collection: Jaume Plensa’s Behind the Walls, Mark de Suvero’s Orion, and Frederick Ebenezer Okai’s When the God’s Speak, Heaven Listens. These pins aren’t for sale — so if you want to snag a set, myUMMA is waiting.
