Kluge-Ruhe Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kluge-Ruhe Museum at the University of Virginia houses one of the finest indigenous Australian art collections in the world, rivaling many of the collections held in Australia. The museum houses many important breakthrough paintings of the Papunya movement and Arnhem land artists.

The museum was formed after the collections of businessman John Werner Kluge and academic, the late Professor Edward L. Ruhe were amalgamated.

The museum is located at Charlottesville, Virginia.
