The Speed Art Museum is Louisville's oldest art museum with more than 13,000 pieces in its collection. The Speed Art Museum has a permanent collection as well as a revolving collection that has been home to a number of major national exhibitions. It is located on the University of Louisville's Belknap Campus.
Admission to the Speed Art Museum's permanent collection is free, though donations are accepted. A separate admission fee is collected from those seeking admission to one of the revolving exhibits.
One of the most popular attractions at the Speed Art Museum is Art Sparks, an interactive exhibit that allows children to create their own art pieces and engage with art in a hands-on environment. Additionally, throughout the year Brown Forman sponsors an event called AfterHours at the Speed that features art, live music, drinks, and appetizers.
