For more than 70 years, SAAM has been dedicated to making its permanent collection and special exhibitions available across the United States through our Traveling Exhibition Program. This program is designed to offer institutions ready access to showcase new scholarship and collaborate with SAAM’s expert team. In turn, these traveling exhibitions allow us to expand our audience and to ensure that more Americans enjoy the most significant and inclusive collection of American art in the world.
Museum professionals are encouraged to sign up for our traveling exhibitions email newsletter. Be the first to know about what exhibitions are available for booking and learn more about ways to bring SAAM artworks to your institution.
