Tours

Our collection of more than 14,000 objects spans many times and places, expressing expansive ideas, philosophies and worldviews. We’ve provided meaningful connections with art in courses far beyond Art and Art History, as varied as the School of Medicine, Dance, Media Studies, Data Science, African-American Studies and so many more. Our innovative teaching galleries provide unique object-based study and research opportunities that enrich the student experience and your curricular goals. Depending on your course content, classes are held in the galleries or in our off-site storage facility. To integrate object-based learning into your course this semester, contact Jordan Love.

Writer’s Eye challenges writers of all ages to use visual art in The Fralin as inspiration for the creation of original poetry and prose. This annual ekphrastic writing program—introduced by docents Carole Armstrong and Valerie Morris in 1986—has become the museum’s flagship educational offering.
