UCI Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art (Langson IMCA)

UCI’s Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art (Langson IMCA) is home to two foundational collections of California art—The Irvine Museum Collection, comprising more than 1,300 California Impressionist and plein air paintings, and The Buck Collection, including 3,000-plus works of California modern and post-war contemporary art. The university is planning to construct a permanent museum and research institute to serve as a global magnet for the exhibition and study of California art within its social, historical, environmental, and cultural frameworks.
