The New UMMA

$41.9 million dollars and 53, 000 extra feet later the U-M Museum of Art reopens with an around-the-clock meet and greet that brought out a whole lotta love... from Ann Arborites, that is.

And what's not to love? The museum has undergone a major restoration, doubled its collections space, added galleries, class rooms, public programming, a curatorial research centerand a 225 seat auditorium and café.

It's more than doubled the amount of its collection (18,000 pieces collected over 150 years) on display and rededicated itself to becoming a cultural anchor for not just the university but the city of Ann Arbor.
