Weisman Art Museum

The Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum is a university art museum in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The museum was founded in 1934 as University Gallery and was originally housed on the upper floor of the university's Northrop Auditorium. The museum relocated to its current location in 1993, which was designed by Canadian-born American architect Frank Gehry and renamed in honor of art collector and philanthropist Frederick R. Weisman. The 20,000-plus acquisitions include large collections of Marsden Hartley, Alfred Maurer, Charles Biederman, Native American Mimbres  pottery, and traditional Korean furniture.

Weisman, Frederick R.

Frederick R. Weisman (April 27, 1912 – September 11, 1994) was a Minneapolis native who rose to prominence as a Los Angeles art collector. Weisman purchased an estate in Los Angeles' Holmby Hills neighborhood in 1982 to house his personal collection of 20th-century art. He wanted to share the experience of living with art rather than the usual, more formal protocol of seeing art in a gallery or museum when he opened the art collection to the public. To this day, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation is housed on the estate.

The Weisman Foundation estate is a two-story Mediterranean Revival house designed by Los Angeles architect Gordon B. Kaufmann in the late 1920s.

Construction of a museum

The current museum building was designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry and completed in November 1993 with MSR Design as the architect of record. It is one of the University of Minnesota's major landmarks, located on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River at the east end of the Washington Avenue Bridge. The abstract structure is significant because it was built before computer-aided design was widely used in architecture.

Depending on which side of the building you look at, it has two faces. It has a brick facade that blends in with the historic buildings along Northrop Mall to the south and east. To the north and west, it is a curving abstraction of a fish and waterfall.

History

Philbrook Museum of Art Rotunda

The Philbrook Museum of Art opened its doors to the public on October 25, 1939, under the direction of its first director, Eugene King man, with a permanent collection of art drawn from the collections of the Tulsa Art Association as well as the Villa Philbrook. Art classes began in 1940, as did a school visitation programmer, which resulted in the addition of the Children's Museum in 1949. Due to increased demand for art classes, a new room was built in 1969, but its use has changed since then. The museum went through financial difficulties in the 1980s before reviving in the 1990s. The Philbrook Art Center's name was changed.

Gardens

The museum is surrounded by formal and informal gardens totaling 25 acres (93,000 m2). The expansive grounds, originally designed by Hare & Hare, contain elaborate gardens inspired by the Villa Lante, an Italian country house north of Rome designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola in 1566. The formal gardens, with their canals and diagonal walkways connecting the mansion to the rustic pond below, adorned with a classical bandstand, were designed and built by the original owners. The gardens to the south of the property, which extend to the summer home, were designed later and finished in 2004. They include native Oklahoma plants as well as a creek. 7 This section contains Barry Flanagan's work Thinker in the Stone. 8

Baltimore Streetcar Museum

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum (BSM) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.  It is located in Baltimore, Maryland at 1911 Falls Road (MD 25).  The museum's mission is to preserve Baltimore's public transportation history, particularly the streetcar era.

History

On June 8, 1966, several members of the Baltimore Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society established the Baltimore Streetcar Museum as a non-profit organization.

The city of Baltimore agreed to build the museum and lease it to the nonprofit organization for a yearly fee of one dollar.

The groundbreaking took place on November 4, 1967.

The official opening date was August 30, 1968.

The original Museum collection consisted of equipment used by the former United Railways and Electric Company and Baltimore Transit Company (BTCO) services, which was held for a short time by the Maryland Historical Society after streetcar service in Baltimore was discontinued. In 1968, the collection was relocated from what was then Robert E. Lee Park near Lake Roland to the current Falls.

Museum leases

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum also hosts private parties for both children and adults.

 The BSM's Visitor Center facilities include an auditorium, the "Trolley Theater," streetcar rides, and carouse tours where visitors can see other historical transit equipment such as an 1859 horse car, a crane car, and an electric bus known as a trackless trolley or trolleybus.

The library's collection

The library collections of the Baltimore Streetcar Museum and the National Railway Historical Society (Baltimore Chapter), formally known as the Maryland Rail Heritage Library, are housed at the Baltimore Streetcar Museum.

Further information

The Museum's website contains detailed information about its operational equipment as well as vehicles that are currently being restored (see Collection Highlights). Illustrations of surviving Baltimore area sites from the city's once-extensive streetcar network are also included.
