Statement of Purpose:

American art; African and pre-Columbian works.

The Orlando Museum of Art's (OMA) mission reflects the continued growth of Central Florida, ardent community support for the arts, and OMA's role as a leading cultural institution in the region.

Since its inception, OMA's purpose has been to enrich the cultural life of Florida by providing excellence in the visual arts. OMA has dedicated itself to collecting, preserving, and interpreting notable works of art; to presenting exhibitions of local, regional, and international significance; to developing first-rate educational programs; and to developing creative and inclusive programs that reach every segment of a diverse community.

History of the Museum

Founded in 1924, OMA is a 501 (c)3, non-profit, educational institution, governed by a Board of Trustees. In 1971, OMA was one of the first museums in the nation to receive professional accreditation by the American Association of Museums and it has maintained its accredited status ever since. OMA was cited by Newsweek as one of the best art museums in the State because of its excellence and statewide impact. OMA has received numerous outstanding community service awards for programs which are responsive to community needs.

Highlights & Collections:

Nestled in picturesque Orlando Loch Haven Park, the Orlando Museum of Art is one of Central Florida’s cultural gems, boasting permanent collections of American art, African art and art of the ancient Americas, and is home to a variety of traveling exhibitions of the highest artistic merit. Elegant architecture, marble floors and a glass ceiling add to the grandeur and ambiance of this beautiful facility.
