Allentown Art Museum Of The Lehigh Valley

Description

• Founded in 1934 by the teacher, painter and critic Walter Emerson Baum (1884-1956), the Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley has become the premier institution of visual arts in the region, serving as an important cultural destination for the region and a vital element in the economic revitalization of downtown Allentown. The Museums newly expanded 48,900 sq. ft. facility showcases a growing collection of nearly 17,000 works of art of international importance, allowing visitors to experience a broad spectrum of art representing diverse media, materials and techniques from an equally diverse range of countries and cultures. Maintaining numerous galleries in which part of the permanent collection is always on display, the Museum also mounts several special exhibitions each year. In 1974 the Museum received prestigious accreditation from the American Association of Museums and today remains one of just 299 art museums of the 15,000 museums nationwide accorded this status. The AAMs ambitious exhibition schedule and educational programs are designed to serve a wide variety of constituents and develop dedicated and actively-engaged new audiences for the arts. Critically acclaimed exhibitions, lectures and presentations by experts in their field, popular public programs, and an array of educational activities and school group visits are serving the needs of the Lehigh Valley community.
