Explore Indiana: Art Museum of Greater Lafayette
category:Arts and Entertainment posted:October 12th, 2006The Greater Lafayette Museum of Art was awarded re-accreditation by the AAM in 1995. In 2000 the Board of Directors ratified a new name and mission for the Museum, and it became the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, in order to “celebrate the power of art to inspire, challenge, and instruct our community through collections, exhibitions, and programs”. Summer of 2003 brought the Museum a position as an Affiliate Partner of the Smithsonian Institution.
Over the years the collection has expanded to over 800 works of art as a result of donations and purchases. Major donations, including the Prisker Pottery Collection, the Alice Baber Memorial Collection, the Akeley Collection, and the Robert and Ellie Haan donations of work by important Indiana artists, have helped to enhance the quality of the collection.
