The Art Museum of the University of Memphis (AMUM)

Since 1981, AMUM has been a haven for local and national contemporary art exhibits. Called the University Gallery until 1994, it houses the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology's Permanent Collection, as well as its own collection of Works on Paper. The museum also hosts the Department of Art's Graduate Thesis Exhibitions and the Annual Juried Student Exhibition.

The Andy Warhol Foundation's Photographic Legacy Program selected AMUM as one of 183 college and university art museums to receive a collection of original Andy Warhol photographs. Through a generous donation form Robert and Martha Fogelman, AMUM's permanent collection also includes African art and artifacts.

Together with the Department of Anthropology, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Art, AMUM offers an Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate Program in Museum Studies that prepares students who are enrolled in or graduated from a master or doctoral degree program to enter the museum professions.

AMUM also offers a variety of educational programs for students of all ages in the University and Memphis community, as well as the Mid-South. The Museum partners with the University at large, the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology, local schools and various organizations to present an array of enrichment programs.
