Founded in 2010 and accredited by the American Alliance of Museums in 2024, the Fairfield University Art Museum is one museum, comprised of two spaces. In the Bellarmine Hall Galleries, the Museum displays its permanent collection alongside rotating special exhibitions. In the Walsh Gallery, located in the Quick Center for the Arts, the museum presents larger special exhibitions. The permanent collection features European and American paintings — including a core group of 10 Renaissance and Baroque paintings from the Samuel H. Kress Collection — drawings, prints, photographs, and historic plaster casts as well as artwork from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Also on view are works of art on long-term loan from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Worcester Art Museum, the American Numismatic Society, Columbia University, and private collections.

We look forward to welcoming you! As always, admission to our galleries is free.

Museum hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11am-4 pm, Thursdays until 8pm.
