History

The museum was designed by architect Ambrose Richardson and opened in 1961.

An addition to the museum was completed in 1988. This addition, the Kinkead Pavilion, was the creation of Larry Booth and Associates. The building incorporates contemporary Egyptian art decorative elements in an overall post-modernist design. The museum is named for benefactors Herman C. Krannert and his wife Ellnora Krannert in recognition of Ellnora's interest in the arts. With over 132,000 visitors annually, the museum supports scholarship through the Fred and Donna Giertz Education Center.[1]

In 2012, the Krannert Art Museum opened a newly redesigned gallery of African art entitled Encounters: The Arts of Africa.[2] A renovation of additional main floor galleries was completed in 2017. In 2019, the museum opened Art Since 1948, a long-term collections installation focused on KAM's collection of modern and contemporary art.[3]

Collections

Major collections of the museum include the Trees Collection of European and American Painting, Harlan E. and Theresa E. Moore Gallery of Decorative Arts, the Olsen Collection of Ancient Andean art, Encounters: The Arts of Africa, Art Since 1948.[4]

The museum is a unit within the University of Illinois College of Fine and Applied Arts.
