Welcome to the Fresno Art Museum

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

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.
