Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG)

Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG) is Lehigh’s free, public art museum for all! Since 1926, LUAG has been honoring Asa Packer's revolutionary belief that art is an essential part of a well-rounded education. We support learning and well-being across disciplines, connect campus and community, and welcome thousands of visitors each year to explore new perspectives through art. 

LUAG cares for a permanent collection of over 20,000 works spanning many cultures and historical periods, including 56 outdoor sculptures. Beyond the walls of the main galleries inside Zoellner Arts Center, the museum extends its reach through rotating exhibitions in gallery spaces in five different campus buildings, and on a series of public art billboards lining the South Bethlehem Greenway. 

Opportunities abound for students in all disciplines to gain valuable experiential learning at LUAG. From participating in the Student Advisory Committee to undertaking internships, work study positions, and volunteer roles, students can contribute to exhibition development, program facilitation, collections management, and even art conservation and acquisition. 

The interdisciplinary "LUAG LAB", located inside the main galleries, provides a distinct space for students to experience the full process of curating and presenting their own exhibitions and research. For those with a deeper interest, a Minor in Museum Studies is offered through the Department of Art, Architecture and Design – providing direct engagement with the museum’s professional staff.

LUAG invites visitors to explore, reflect, and connect with art – and with one another – through exhibitions, free art experiences, dynamic programming, and meaningful art education for learners of all ages. With a commitment to making our collection and exhibitions inclusive and accessible both in person and online, Lehigh University Art Galleries serves as a cultural resource for campus, the greater Lehigh Valley, and beyond. 

As LUAG wraps up its centennial anniversary in 2026, marking 100 years of art at Lehigh, all are invited to become part of the museum’s rich history and exciting future. For more information, visit LUAG.org or follow us on social at @LUArtGalleries.
