About Eskenazi Museum of Art
The Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University is an art museum at Indiana University Bloomington. It was opened in 1941 as the Indiana University Museum of Art under the direction of Henry Radford Hope.
The present museum building was designed by I.M. Pei and Partners and dedicated in 1982. The museum's collection comprises approximately 45,000 objects, with about 1,400 on display. The collection includes items ranging from ancient jewelry to paintings by Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock. In May 2016, after the announcement of the largest cash gift in the museum's history, the museum was renamed the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art in honor of Indianapolis-based philanthropists Sidney and Lois Eskenazi. The museum is located on the Indiana University Bloomington campus at 1133 E. Seventh Street.
