About Fresno Art Museum

Founded in 1949, this Fresno museum has been housed in the Radio Park area since 1960. Its permanent collection holds more than 3,800 paintings, prints, and sculptures. The museum is especially noted for modern and contemporary California art, work by women artists, and works on paper, and it also presents exhibitions tied to the cultural traditions of the San Joaquin Valley's communities. A notable strength is its Art of the Ancient Americas holdings, which cover more than 2,500 years of artistic traditions from West Mexico, the Yucatan, and the Peruvian Andes. Visitors can also see rotating exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and family events, and the museum has a sculpture garden for lunch.
