Planning a University Engagment

  • Study Rooms: Up to 25 students
  • Gallery Hours:
    • Tuesday - Wednesday: 11AM to 5PM
    • Thursday - Friday: 10AM to 8PM
    • Saturday - Sunday: 11AM to 8PM
       
  • Self-Guided: You are welcome to visit during gallery open hours. Letting us know of your visit in advance allows us to see if other groups also plan to use the galleries at the same time. 
     
  • Guided: ​​By appointment, guided tours of UMMA’s collection galleries and special exhibitions.
     
  • If your class occurs outside of open gallery hours, please submit a request at least four weeks in advance so proper arrangements can be made.

  • Instructors and Researchers can request access to objects not on display in the galleries for viewing in our study rooms. Reservations need to be made at least three weeks in advance. 
     
  • Instructors and Researchers must defer to UMMA staff regarding any factors that may make an artwork unavailable for display (UMMA will inform Instructors and Researchers of unavailable works at least one week before the visit). Reasons that a work might be unavailable include:
    • the work is offsite

      • Object Study Room: 36” tall x 60” wide / 50 lbs. (3D objects)
