UQ Art Museum is a contemporary art museum connecting visitors with ideas and training the next generation of museum professionals. Our exhibitions and programs are designed to invite critical thinking, provide moments of reflection and deep contemplation, and create space for important conversations.
We support innovative teaching and learning, offer industry-leading training programs, connect communities with UQ’s research, and care for the UQ Art Collection – one of Queensland’s most significant public art collections.
Currently, UQ Art Museum is undergoing an exciting transformation. UQ is investing in a purpose-built, architecturally designed gallery for us, located in the iconic Forgan Smith Tower.
While construction is underway, the Museum is temporarily closed but continues to engage audiences through a dynamic program of events across Queensland and online throughout 2026. The new gallery is expected to open in 2027, ushering in a new era of cultural enrichment and creative exploration.
UQ Art Museum is a member of University Art Museums Australia.
