The Alexander Brest Museum and Gallery is located in the Phillips Fine Arts Building on the campus of Jacksonville University. It was named for its primary benefactor. The museum featured collections of carved ivory, Pre-Columbian artifacts, Steuben glass, Chinese porcelain, Cloisonné, Tiffany glass, and Boehm porcelain [1] as well as rotating exhibitions.[2]

The Alexander Brest Gallery has transitioned into a versatile 2300 square foot exhibition space. The gallery showcases nationally recognized artists that work in all art mediums and emerging Jacksonville University student artists and designers. The gallery has selected their very first Gallery Director, artist and curator Zakriya Rabani, in 2023.
