The Snite Museum of Art, was the fine art museum on the University of Notre Dame campus, near South Bend, Indiana.[1] It included about 30,000 works of art that span cultures, eras, and media. The Museum supported faculty teaching and research and through programs, lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. Students played a role as gallery guides and as student advisory members.

In April 2023 the Snite Museum closed in anticipation of the completion of the new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, less than half a mile to the south, which opened in December 2023.[1][2]
