The Loyola University Museum of Art was founded in 2005 on the Water Tower Campus of Loyola University Chicago. LUMA resides on the Magnificent Mile at the Water Tower, an historic 1927 Gothic Revival building. The 35,000 sq. feet museum contains eight exhibition main galleries, the William G. and Marilyn M. Simpson Lecture Hall, the Solomon Cordwell Buenz Library of Sacred Art and Architecture and the Museum Store, the Push Pin Gallery and the Harlan J. Berk Ltd. Works on Paper Gallery.

The mission of the museum is illustrated and introduced in the first floor lobby with the Windows of Faith representing the five major world faiths of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
