Meet US AT THE MUSEUm

Named one of the best designed museums in the nation by Architectural Digest and accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Taubman Museum of Art in downtown Roanoke, Virginia, is home to a widely respected permanent collection and offers a variety of rotating exhibitions showcasing work by global, national, and regional artists.

Complementary educational programming for each exhibition ranges from guided audio tours and hands-on sketching galleries to art-making activities for children and youth in Art Venture, our interactive creativity center for kids and families.

Free general admission is sponsored in part by AEP Foundation, and the Museum is honored to participate in the Museums for All and Blue Star Museums programs, ensuring accessibility for all.

Healing Ceiling Tiles

The healing power of art: through a partnership with Carilion Clinic, the Taubman has engaged local community members ranging from elementary school classes to retirement centers  to create joyful, whimsical, hand-painted ceiling tiles for display in the healthcare providers’ facilities across southwest Virginia.
