A campus and community hub of global visual culture
The University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art welcomes the University of Iowa community, all Iowans, and the world to discover and enjoy extraordinary works of art, explore new ideas, and cultivate new insights into history, culture, and the act of creation.
The Stanley Museum of Art strives to create a space where everyone feels welcome, safe and empowered to engage with the stories and expressions within our walls. The staff and volunteers are passionate about making art accessible and welcoming to everyone.
Touch Tours, which are free tours for visitors who are blind or partially sighted and their companions are offered on demand.
