The Fresno Art Museum is Fresno's nationally-recognized fine art museum.

The Museum is best known for exhibiting modern and contemporary art from California, art by women artists, and works of art on paper, along with exhibitions that reflect the visual arts traditions of the ethnic groups that contribute to the rich diversity of the San Joaquin Valley.

The Fresno Art Museum's permanent collection consists of over 3,800 paintings, prints, and sculptures by important local, regional, national, and international artists.

It includes a superlative collection of Art of the Ancient Americas which spans more than 2,500 years of the major artistic traditions of cultures in West Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, and the Peruvian Andes.

Founded in 1949, the Fresno Art Museum has been located at First Street and Clinton Avenue in Radio Park since 1960.

The building and grounds description:
The Fresno Arts Museum facility was built in 1960. Since the 1970s, the building has undergone a number of major expansions from its original 10,000 square feet to over 27,000. The additions included additional exhibition galleries, a kitchen, gift shop, the 150-seat Bonner Auditorium with proscenium stage, the expanded entrance and entry plaza, and the Sculpture Garden. Today, the Museum has six galleries plus a large lobby and concourse, a classroom, and a library/conference room in addition to the kitchen, gift shop, auditorium, and Sculpture Garden. Between 1960 and 2000, the vaults that house the permanent collection were added to and upgraded, as were the curatorial and preparatory spaces and the administrative offices. The building itself has a large front plaza with several large-scale sculptures and is adjacent to Radio Park in central Fresno. There are free parking lots in front and in back of the building and plenty of free street parking.
