About the Manetti Shrem Museum
The Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis is a contemporary museum for our time, committed to honoring the past and shaping the future while making art accessible and approachable for all. Home to groundbreaking art that is both global in perspective and rooted in UC Davis’ pioneering legacy, the museum builds on the university’s internationally recognized tradition of innovation across disciplines. Through exhibitions and interdisciplinary collaborations, it serves as a dynamic forum for the exchange of ideas.
Since opening in 2016, the museum has become a new cultural landmark and nationally recognized university museum, earning architectural honors that include being named by ARTNews as one of the 25 Best Museum Buildings of the Past 100 Years. During 2026–27, the Manetti Shrem Museum celebrates its first decade with a year-long series of special exhibitions, celebratory events and memorable experiences that honor its remarkable growth while looking toward the future.
