The Miami University Art Museum is a public art museum located on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Building
Completed in 1978, the museum was designed by architect Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in Chicago. The building is located on three acres of park land and houses five galleries, containing around 16,000 artworks.
History
The construction of the Miami University Art Museum was made possible by private contributions to Miami University's Goals for Enrichment capital campaign in the mid-1970s. A major gift for the building came as a bequest from Miami alumnus Fred C. Yager, class of 1914. Walter I. Farmer, class of 1935, and former Art Department faculty member Orpha B. Webster generously donated extensive art collections, instrumental in developing early support for the museum.
Accessibility
All museum entries are at street level. A wheelchair is available on request. Individuals who require other accommodations (e.g., interpreters for the hearing impaired) must contact the university at least 24 hours in advance of the date of their visit in order for Miami University to accommodate their special needs.
