Welcome to the Fresno Art Museum

The Fresno Art Museum is Fresno's nationally-recognized fine art museum.

Best known for exhibiting modern and contemporary art from California, art by women artists, and works of art on paper, along with 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 consists of over 3,800 paintings, prints, and sculptures by important local, regional, national, and international artists.

It includes a superlative collection of Art of the Ancient Americas which spans more than 2,500 years of the major artistic traditions of cultures in West Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Peruvian Andes.
