Denver Art Museum
"DENVER —The Denver Art Museum’s enlarged
campus opened to the public
on October 7, 2006. The Museum nearly doubled its facilities with the
addition of the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, adding more than 30,000
square feet of new galleries for its permanent collections, three
temporary exhibition spaces, art storage and public amenities. The
expansion is the Museum’s first major addition since its North
Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti, was completed 35
years ago. Founded as the Denver Artists’ Club in 1893, the DAM
has grown to one of the largest
art museums between Chicago and the West Coast with comprehensive
collections numbering over 65,000 pieces from across the world.
“'Our holdings reflect our city and region—and provide invaluable ways
for the community to learn about cultures from around the world,' said
Executive Director Lewis Sharp. 'The Hamilton Building created
much-needed space to exhibit our extensive and diverse collection and
traveling exhibitions. 'The Hamilton Building created much-needed space
to exhibit traveling exhibitions and our extensive and diverse
collection that includes American Indian, Spanish Colonial,
pre-Columbian, Asian, Oceanic, African, western American and modern and
contemporary art.'” Quoted from the press kit available on the
website.

one of the most significant

Founded on a collection of early modern masterpieces, the Guggenheim

20th century and beyond." Quoted from the website.
The
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City) "The Metropolitan Museum of Art
was founded on
April 13,
1870, 'to be located in the City of New York, for the purpose of
establishing and maintaining in said city a Museum and library of art,
of encouraging and developing the study of the fine arts, and the
application of arts to manufacture and practical life, of advancing the
general knowledge of kindred subjects, and, to that end, of furnishing
popular instruction.'
"This statement of purpose has guided the Museum for
more than a century. "The Trustees of The Metropolitan Museum of Art
have
reaffirmed the statement of purpose and supplemented it with the
following statement of mission: "The mission of The Metropolitan
Museum of Art is to
collect, preserve, study, exhibit, and stimulate appreciation for and
advance knowledge of works of art that collectively represent the
broadest spectrum of human achievement at the highest level of quality,
all in the service of the public and in accordance with the highest
professional standards."
Quoted from the website in 2011
National
Gallery of Art
"The National Gallery of Art was created in
1937 for the
people of the United States of America by a joint resolution of
Congress, accepting the gift of financier and art collector Andrew W.
Mellon. During the 1920s, Mr. Mellon began collecting with the
intention of forming a gallery of art for the nation in Washington. In
1937, the year of his death, he promised his collection to the United
States. Funds for the construction of the West Building were provided
by The A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust. On March 17,
1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the completed building
and the collections on behalf of the people of the United States of
America.
"The paintings and works of sculpture given by Andrew
Mellon have formed a nucleus of high quality around which the
collections have grown. Mr. Mellon's hope that the newly created
National Gallery would attract gifts from other collectors was soon
realized in the form of major donations of art from Samuel H. Kress,
Rush H. Kress, Joseph Widener, Chester Dale, Ailsa Mellon Bruce,
Lessing J. Rosenwald, and Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch
as well as individual gifts from hundreds of other donors."

The Saint Louis
Art Museum collects, presents, interprets, and conserves works of art
of the highest quality across time and cultures; educates, inspires
discovery, and elevates the human spirit; and preserves a legacy of
artistic achievement for the people of St. Louis and the world. "HistoryThe Saint Louis Art Museum
was founded in 1879, at the close of a decade that saw the
establishment of art museums in great cities across the eastern half of
the United States. This Museum's comprehensive collections bear witness
to the inspirational and educational goals to which its founder aspired
and the moral and democratic imperatives he embraced. What began as a
collection of assorted plaster casts, electrotype reproductions, and
other examples of "good design" in various media rapidly gave way to a
great and varied collection of original works of art spanning five
millennia and six continents. Today the quality and breadth of the
Museum's collection secure for it a place among the very best
institutions of its kind." Quoted from the website.
