Museums that bring together collections of fine works of art are unique and even special repositories that allow their visitors to acquire unique insights into the artists and the cultures of people from different eras, other than their own. In many cases, when visitors to a museum admire a work of art from a different time, a bond and connection is formed between the viewer and the artist. Indeed, a museum of art can become a place that fosters deeper understanding of others, of self, and can even prompt spiritual insights.

For those who work diligently to create the beautiful and meaningful art exhibitions that are found at a fine art museum, they strive to create presentations of art that lift and inspire. In most cases, the overriding desire is to foster an experience for the visitor through the various exhibitions that will nurture a more reflective state of mind, will increase the capacity for deeper inquiry, will foster a greater commitment to excellence and integrity, and will heighten the appreciation for other people, their cultures and ideas.

While not well known outside of the Mountain West area of the United States, the Museum of Art at Brigham Young University (BYU) is one of the largest museums of art in the area. It is also quite popular and enjoys strong attendance throughout the year, primarily because of the dynamic schedule of art exhibitions that it features.

The BYU art museum features an extensive permanent collection of art, world-class traveling art shows and a variety of unique temporary gallery exhibitions that help to fulfill the unique mandate and goals of the museum, as set out by the administration of the university and the museum. Accordingly, one of the most important roles of the museum is to contribute to the overall academic mission of the university.
