Loyola University Museum of Art
The Loyola University Museum of Art (LUMA) opened in the fall of 2005. It is unique among Chicago's many museums for mounting exhibits that explore the spiritual in art from all cultures, faiths and periods. LUMA is located on Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus in downtown Chicago, at 820 North Michigan Avenue.
LUMA's permanent collection comprises the Martin D'Arcy Collection of medieval, renaissance and baroque art and artifacts. Pieces range in date from 1150 to 1800. Established in 1969 by Father Donald Rowe, SJ, a Jesuit priest, the collection contains some 300 pieces. It was named after British humanist and Jesuit theologian Father Martin D'Arcy, SJ, who amassed an art collection at Campion Hall, Oxford University in England. The collection was formerly located at Loyola's Lakeshore Campus in Rogers Park, Chicago.
