University of Iowa News Release
The University of Iowa Museum of Art’s on-campus visual classroom, the UIMA@IMU, will be closed for reinstallation Aug. 1 through Aug. 23.
Located in the Iowa Memorial Union’s third-floor Richey Ballroom, the temporary art venue opened in 2009 after the flood displaced the UIMA’s 12,000 piece permanent collection. The space houses 250 objects from Africa, China, Japan, Tibet and the Ancient Americas, as well as 20th-century European and American ceramics, conceptual art, and figurative art and has served as a resource to UI students.
Other temporary locations housing works from the UIMA's permanent collection will remain open during this time. The Figge Art Museum in Davenport is currently displaying the UIMA's ongoing exhibition “A Legacy for Iowa: Pollock's Mural and Modern Masterworks from the University of Iowa Museum of Art” and the Levitt Center for University Advancement houses a selection of art from the UIMA's Stanley African Art Collection.
