The Fralin Museum of Art
The Fralin Museum of Art at UVA
A free art museum at the University of Virginia, with collections spanning ancient Mediterranean, American and Asian art.
The museum is housed in a 1930s building on Rugby Road at the University of Virginia and holds some 13,000 works, from ancient Greek pottery and Native American art to contemporary prints. The permanent displays are modest, but the temporary exhibitions are of good quality. Entry is free, and it is closed on Mondays. It is a five-minute walk from the Academical Village, so you can visit after exploring the university.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00
