Founded in 1989, the Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Art Museum is one of only five art museums in Maryland accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. The museum is located in Annapolis, the state's capital, and is part of St. John's College. The museum's program, inspired by the college's distinct learning culture, has been reenvisioned as a place to ask pertinent and urgent questions about the human experience through art and with extraordinary artists. All its exhibitions and most of its events are free and open to the public.
