The Georgia Museum of Art has long offered its audiences a world-class art experience. As both an academic museum and the state's official art museum, it serves not only the University of Georgia, but also the owners of its permanent collection, the residents of Georgia and the state's visitors, through award-winning exhibitions, publications and programming. The museum houses a permanent collection of more than 12,000 works of art, as well as a variety of traveling exhibitions and a sculpture garden.

Gallery tour groups are welcomed, and educational tour groups on a variety of topics are available upon request. The museum also offers its ongoing "Tour at Two," with a tour each Wednesday at 2 p.m., as well as Family Days once every month on a designated Saturday morning. Families and children may check out a free backpack full of supplies and activities that will enhance their walk through the museum.

The GMOA now offers free timed ticketing. Please sign up for a time, then bring your print-out or mobile device with you to the museum. Check in with the front desk during the time slot you selected and then go upstairs to enjoy some art. You can stay as long as you like.

Admission to the museum is free, donations are welcome.
