Lehigh University Art Galleries: A Century in the Making

Since 1926, LUAG has been turning vision into reality—honoring Asa Packer's revolutionary belief that art isn't just important to education. It's essential.

100 years later, LUAG is alive with energy. We are more than a gallery. We are a dynamic classroom and community hub where ideas grow, perspectives widen, and conversations flourish. We support learning and well-being across disciplines, connect campus and community, and welcome thousands of visitors each year to experience something extraordinary with our 20,000+ works of art.

Step outside and you'll discover 56 stunning outdoor sculptures that have captured national attention—recently celebrated by Condé Nast Traveler as a destination worth the journey.

LUAG Belongs to You

We’ve spent a century making art accessible to everyone and ensuring our collection grows alongside our community. We’re breaking down walls between disciplines, serving as a bridge between the university and the greater Lehigh Valley, partnering with local artists, schools, and organizations to expand access to the arts and strengthen our region’s cultural life.

In a rapidly changing world, the role of a campus art museum is more vital than ever. Your support helps art remain a catalyst for discovery, connection, and positive change.
