Landmarks launched in 2008 with an historic, ongoing loan of 28 sculptures from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Since that time, Landmarks has commissioned or acquired roughly 1-2 new projects per year, expanding the collection to nearly 50 works of art. An extension of the collection, Landmarks Video features a rotating selection of influential video art from the past six decades.

Landmarks provides multiple points of entry for engaging its diverse audiences. Public offerings include monthly tours, music performances, and artist lectures. Its website and mobile app feature scholarly essays, self-guided tours, artist videos, music playlists, and activity guides for all ages.

By bringing great art to The University of Texas at Austin, Landmarks enriches the lives of students and visitors, engaging thousands of people each day. It is a point of pride for the university and an integral part of the Longhorn experience.
