Featuring free admission to the public and a year-round calendar of special exhibitions and art-related activities for all ages, the Ackland Art Museum is a hub of dynamic activity on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Ackland is an extension of the classroom for thousands of students in hundreds of classes across dozens of academic disciplines each year. The heart of the Ackland is its global collection of over 21,000 artworks spanning cultures and time periods. The Museum actively commissions and teaches with new works, many of them from artists rooted in the American South. Visit us Wednesday through Sunday; we stay open late once a month during the Second Friday ArtWalk.
