Martin Museum of Art
Overview of Baylor Campus Credit Waco Heart Texas
Welcome ot the Martin Museum of Art, the Baylor University associated art museum that holds over 1300 objects in its permanent collection alone. Did we mention it's free?
This museum aims to aid the 'advancement and understanding of art' for students and the general public. The very first Museum of Art here on campus was built in 1967, and eventually, after a few relocations and a few name changes, the museum you see today was formed within the Hooper- Schaefer Fine Arts Center. Fun fact: the name 'Martin' in Martin Museum of Art came from Hooper-Schaefer's niece, Ruby Martin.
The collection inside is quite diverse, with several different mediums of art covered, from artists all across America, and the world. There are temporary exhibits as well, each complimenting the art department courses (Art History and Studio Art Courses).
