Weatherspoon Art Museum - UNC Greensboro

Established in 1942, the Weatherspoon Art Museum houses one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary American art in the Southeastern United States. The collection is comprised of more than 5,000 paintings, sculpture, photographs, and works on paper primarily from the 1940s to the present.

The Weatherspoon Art Museum exhibition schedule focuses on permanent collection as well as special temporary exhibitions, many of which are of national prominence and originated by the Weatherspoon curatorial staff. Educational programs include lectures, films, and gallery tours that provide visitors with the opportunity to learn directly from works of art, artists, and scholars.
