Since its founding, the Fleming Museum of Art—once known as the Robert Hull Fleming Museum—has served as a public gateway to the University of Vermont for nearly 90 years. By supporting and showcasing the interests of UVM’s faculty and students, as well as offering access to its collections and programs, the museum brings world-class art, as well as some unexpected displays, to the Green Mountain State.
