The beautiful architecture of the new Mobile Museum of Art, designed by The Architects Group, provides an exquisite setting for blockbuster exhibitions and the museum's permanent collection of more than 6,000 works of art. The new museum, completed in the spring of 2002, is the largest art museum along the Gulf Coast from New Orleans to Tampa.

The collection is strong in American art of the 1930s-40s, work by southern artists, art of the French Barbizon School, contemporary American crafts and late 19th century American art. The museum has holdings in Asian, African and European works as well. [1]

The Mobile Museum of Art is located at 4850 Museum Drive in Langan Park. For hours and fees please see the museum's website.

Why was this sub-index page prepared?

When Resource Library publishes over time more than one article concerning an institution, there is created as an additional resource for readers a sub-index page containing links to each Resource Library article or essay concerning that institution, plus available information on its location and other descriptive information.

See TFAO's Museums Explained to learn about the "inner workings" of art museums and the functions of staff members. In the exhibitions section find out how to get the most out of a museum visit. See definitions for a glossary of museum-related words used in articles.
