It is the vision of the Montana Museum of Art and Culture to serve as:
a celebrated fine arts and cultural museum;
a nationa

l model for university museums;

Located on the University of Montana campus in Missoula, MT, the MMAC is the state's oldest, deepest, and most comprehensive collection of art with a Permanent Collection begun in 1894. Formerly known as the "Museum of Fine Arts," it was administered by the School of Fine Arts until 2001 when it was recognized as the state's third museum and became a unit of the University's President's Office. In 2018, it became an affiliate unit of the College of the Arts and Media and in 2023, it opened a state-of-the-art facility, its first permanent home in its history.

Levin was a 20th century modernist whose artistic journey was impacted by the effects of war, love, family, and teaching. The traveling exhibition presents a selection of works, including drawings, paintings, and prints from the 1930s through 2005.

The exhibition is accompanied by “Morton Levin: Graphic Works,” a more intimate show curated by the MMAC in the Michele and Loren Hansen Gallery.
