The Brauer Museum of Art is an art museum at Valparaiso University, a private university in Valparaiso, Indiana. It is home to a collection of 19th- and 20th-century American art, world religious art, and Midwestern regional art. It is located in the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts (VUCA). Prior to the museum's opening, the university's collection was housed and displayed within several buildings across campus. It was named the Brauer Museum of Art in 1996 to honor the collection's long-time director and curator, Richard H. W. Brauer. The university began exploring selling parts of its art collection in 2023, to significant controversy and adverse legal action, and closed the museum in the summer of 2024. The museum reopened in November 2024.
