A Teaching Museum

The Rollins Museum of Art features rotating exhibitions, ongoing programs, and an extensive permanent collection that spans centuries. Open to the public year-round, its holdings include a sizeable American art collection, the only European Old Master paintings in the Orlando area, and a global contemporary collection on view both at the Museum and The Alfond Inn at Rollins. Located a few blocks from campus, The Alfond Inn is a visionary philanthropic boutique hotel whose proceeds help fund student scholarships. In 1981, the Museum became one of Florida’s first college museums to be accredited by the American Association of Museums (currently the American Alliance of Museums) and continues in 2024 as one of only four AAM-accredited museums in greater Orlando.

Mission

The Rollins Museum of Art is a teaching museum that stimulates transformative encounters with works of art while integrating art learning into daily life for campus and community.

Vision

The Rollins Museum of Art is a premier teaching and destination museum vital to the cultural fabric of our campus and community, its diverse and growing collection experienced as intimate, innovative, and inspirational.

Envisioning the Future

In a community offering many cultural experiences, the Rollins Museum of Art remains unique in the breadth of the collection, the focus on education, and providing free access to all. In order to serve the wider community better, we are planning for a new RMA building, located in downtown Winter Park across from The Alfond Inn.
