Crate 1 of 2: Paintings & Sculpture from the Collection
Crate 1 of 2:
Paintings & Sculpture from the Collection.
This exhibition highlights
masterworks from the MMAA’s permanent collection. These selections encompass
the breadth and stylistic diversity of American art in the Museum’s holdings
and bring to light the strengths of nationally known masters and locally
renowned talents.
With roots dating back to the 1890s, the MMAA is one of the
oldest visual arts institutions in the region. MMAA began as an art school
founded by several local artists and community leaders. The organization was
founded as The Saint Paul School of Art in 1926, and only began as a collecting
institution in the 1940s. With over 3500 objects in the collection at present,
this exhibition showcases both the first American painting and sculpture
accessioned into the collection, as well as over 80 other paintings and
sculptures accessioned throughout the history of the museum.
