Rollins Museum of Art

A Teaching Museum

A Rollins education; art from antiquity to the present day and from across continents; unlimited access to contemporary art; a warm welcome and customized experiences – all for free. Yet the Rollins Museum of Art is much more than the sum of these parts. We are committed to making art an essential part of life and to encouraging life-long learning. We create original exhibitions that ask difficult questions and welcome multiple answers from different perspectives. We teach how to look, and how to appreciate art from different periods and cultures. We are both a university art museum and a community museum – and it is the dialogue between campus and community and the trans-historical and trans-generational interchanges that make us unique in our community.

About the Museum

The Rollins Museum of Art features rotating exhibitions, ongoing programs, and an extensive permanent collection that spans centuries. Open to the public year-round, its holdings include a sizeable American art collection, the only European Old Master paintings in the Orlando area, and a global contemporary collection on view both at the Museum and The Alfond Inn at Rollins. Located a few blocks from campus, The Alfond Inn is a visionary philanthropic boutique hotel whose proceeds help fund student scholarships. In 1981, the Museum became one of Florida’s first college museums to be accredited by the American Association of Museums (currently the American Alliance of Museums) and continues in 2024 as one of only four AAM-accredited museums in greater Orlando.
