The Knoxville Museum of Art celebrates the art and artists of East Tennessee, presents new art and new ideas, educates and serves a diverse community, enhances Knoxville's quality of life and economic development, and operates ethically, responsibly, and transparently as a public trust.

Located within Knoxville's World's Fair Park, the Knoxville Museum of Art is one of the best places your student group can visit for local culture and art. This museum, oftentimes referred to as KMA, provides a rich visual legacy of Eastern Tennessee, with several exhibits boasting new art from the region, new and old. In particular, the culture of the Southern Appalachians is focused on throughout the galleries.

The Knoxville Museum of Art was established in 1961, seeing over 60,000 guests since then. Not only will visitors to KMA find outstanding visual arts and local history, but they will also have the chance to take part in classes, tours, workshops, and educational programs, as well as catch a concert or lecture depending upon the time of their visit.

Some popular exhibits you may want to visit before you leave include A Century of Visual Arts in Eastern Tennessee, The Cycle of Life, and Facets of Modern and Contemporary Glass.
