Fresno Art Museum
The Fresno Art Museum is best known for exhibiting modern and contemporary art from California, as well as art by women artists and works on paper, alongside exhibitions that reflect the visual arts traditions of the ethnic groups that contribute to the rich diversity of the San Joaquin Valley. The Fresno Art Museum’s permanent collection comprises over 3,800 paintings, prints, and sculptures by notable local, regional, national, and international artists. It features a remarkable collection of Art of the Ancient Americas, spanning over 2,500 years of the major artistic traditions of cultures in West Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Peruvian Andes. Founded in 1949, the Fresno Art Museum has been located at First Street and Clinton Avenue in Radio Park since 1960. The American Alliance of Museums has accredited the museum since the 1970s.
