Review:
The Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia is an art collection housed at Pantops Farm on Worrell Drive.
Pantops Farm was owned by Thomas Jefferson at one time, and is today owned by the University of Virginia. The art museum is the only museum in the nation that is exclusively devoted to the art of Australian Aborigines, and it is renowned for its large collection of indigenous Australian art, one of the finest in the world.
The museum was founded in 1997 when John W. Kluge donated his collection of Aboriginal art that included the collection of Edward L. Ruhe. Today, there are more than 1,700 objects including artifacts, paintings, and sculptures in the collection.
