University Art Museum Considered one of the major art museums in Kentucky, the University Art Museum is one of only three such facilities in the state accredited by the American Association of Museums. Located in the Singletary Center for the Arts, the museum serves a regional audience of over 400,000 people and offers a wide variety of changing exhibitions and education programs. The museum offers training opportunities for work-study and experiential education students as well as undergraduate and graduate internships for a limited number of applicants each year. Pre-arranged group and class tours led by museum volunteers or staff are also welcome and encouraged. In addition, students are eligible for museum membership at a highly reduced rate which entitles them to invitations to opening receptions and free or discounted museum publications.
Admission is free.
