Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts

The Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts is located in Tallahassee, Florida. The museum seeks to " enrich the university and the community by exhibiting works of art which expand the understanding of art today and of the past and to serve as a teaching instrument for art instruction, particularly by holding exhibitions of informational value to students and the general public and by providing student artists with an arena to exhibit their work." The museum offers community projects on the regular basis, including painting and sculpture exhibitions, challenging installations and photography shows. There is a competitive exhibit that uses all forms of art and each semester ends with exhibitions from artists graduating from the FSU program. There are frequently thematic shows. Past shows have included gun imagery in society, Latina and black women artists and the mixture of Anglo and Native American cultures in art. The museum is part of the Florida Association of Museums, the Florida Cultural Action Alliance, the Florida Art Museum Directors' Association and the Southeastern Museums' Conference. The museum is located in the east wing of the university's Fine Arts Building, at the corner of Copeland and Tennessee Streets. It is one of the most popular destinations on campus.
