The Rollins Museum of Art features rotating exhibitions, ongoing programs, and an extensive permanent collection that spans centuries, from examples of ancient art and artifacts to contemporary art. Open to the public year-round, its holdings include the only European Old Master paintings in the Orlando area, a sizeable American art collection, and a forward-thinking contemporary collection on view both at the Museum and The Alfond Inn at Rollins.
Located a few blocks from campus, The Alfond Inn is a visionary philanthropic boutique hotel whose proceeds help fund student scholarships. In 1981, the Museum became Florida’s first college museum to be accredited by the American Association of Museums (currently the American Alliance of Museums) and continues in 2021 as one of only four AAM-accredited museums in greater Orlando.
The Rollins Museum of Art is a teaching museum that stimulates transformative encounters with works of art while integrating art learning into daily life for campus and community.
The Rollins Museum of Art is a premier teaching and destination museum vital to the cultural fabric of our campus and community, its diverse and growing collection experienced as intimate, innovative, and inspirational.
