The Georgia Museum of Art draws from its

permanent collection as well as other museums

and private collections to host approximately

20 culturally and artistically diverse exhibitions

each year. Named the state museum of art in

1982 by the Georgia General Assembly, the

museum is a significant cultural resource for

the state, the Southeast, and the nation. The

museum's permanent collection of over

7,OOO works features 19th- and 2Oth- century

American paintings, a growing collection of

decorative arts, American and European prints

and drawings from the Renaissance to the

contemporary era, and the Samuel H. Kress

Collection of ltalian Renaissance paintings.
