Dallas, TX | After Hours Collections Storage Tour & Discussion with Anne Lenhart at the Meadows Museum

We are excited to present an after hours collection storage tour and discussion at the Meadows Museum! Attendees will see and learn about the collections at the Meadow’s Museum, as well as hear how the Museum functions as a small University Art Museum that is funded by a foundation.

The core of the Meadows Museum’s collection was assembled by its founder, Algur H. Meadows. Mr. Meadows developed an interest in art over the course of several visits to Spain in the 1950s, when he spent long afternoons at the great Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. Mr. Meadows subsequently began to collect Spanish art and in 1962, after the passing of his wife, Virginia, he donated his original acquisitions as well as funds for a museum to house them at Southern Methodist University. Until his death in 1978, Mr. Meadows, with the careful guidance of founding director William B. Jordan, actively promoted the development of the Spanish art collection, which has grown to be one of the finest outside Spain. Ranging from early Renaissance examples to modern works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Juan Gris, the majority of works of art in the collection were created during the Spanish Golden Age by Baroque artists such as Diego Velázquez, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Jusepe de Ribera

This program will be lead by Anne Lenhart, Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Meadows Museum.
