Description:

The Fowler Museum at UCLA explores global arts and cultures, with emphasis on works from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas, past and present. Awaiting you are exciting exhibitions and events that foster a deep appreciation and understanding for the peoples, cultures, and religions of the world, filling an important niche for diverse Los Angeles. The Fowler’s state-of-the-art facility includes approximately 20,000-square-feet of exhibition space. Five galleries showcase a wide range of arts—from ancient traditions to contemporary practices—via innovative temporary exhibitions and a dynamic changing installation of selections from the Museum’s renowned permanent collection of more than 150,000 objects.

Complementing the Fowler’s outstanding exhibitions are lectures, symposia, performances, art workshops and gallery talks for general audiences, scholars, educators, and visitors of all ages, including a hands-on summer art camp for children. Family festivals celebrate the themes of major exhibitions through music, dance, and art-making activities. K-12 educators benefit from the Museum’s extensive teacher-training programs and published arts and humanities curricula, which enable them to extend their students’ fieldtrips to the Fowler with interactive lessons back in the classroom.
