Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia

This is a wonderful museum and terrific introduction to an area of the world and artwork that is unfamiliar for most of us. Excellent tour and signage. Definitely worth a visit!

We came in off the freeway, looking for a brief diversion before our one evening in Charlottesville, and were blown away by the explosion of color, texture and emotion on display. What a wonderful surprise. Knowing nothing about Aboriginal art, we learned so much and look forward to learning more. Go now while the superb 50 Years of Papunya Tula Artists exhibit is on display. Admission is free, and the museum building and setting are stunning as well. A small but lovely gift shop tempts with reasonably-priced, unique items.

A wonderful collection in a beautiful home on a spectacular piece of land. I highly recommend the tour. Our tour guide, Ed was knowledgeable and very engaging. The museum is well worth the trip

Wonderful museum, regrettably due to COVID you need a reservation to visit the artwork located inside the museum.
However there is currently and outdoor sculpture trail which is fantastic.

Free to the public , this wonderful museum is probably less noticed than it should be as I just happened to approach the grounds while sight seeing and asked two ladies pleasantly enjoying there afternoon talking in the shade of the grounds about the museum. They advised it was free to public and I should go inside. Inside the door a docent immediately rose to attention and began filling me with detailed information regarding the museums history and offerings. He directed me to comfortably walk thru at my own pace and enjoy the surroundings. The museum was both educational as well as a delightful display of the aboriginal art. The sponsors own the largest collection of aboriginal art.
