William Ward Watkin, Preliminary Rendering of MFAH Exterior, South Facade, c. 1921
MFAH Archives Architectural Collection
Collecting the Past: 25 Years of Documenting Museum History commemorates the 25th anniversary of the MFAH Archives, founded in 1984 with a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. The exhibition highlights the important role of the museum´s archives within the institution, within Houston, and within the larger art community.
Drawing from more than 100 years of institutional records and 60 manuscript collections, Collecting the Past features archival documents, photographs, and recordings that chronicle four major areas of the museum´s development: the growth of the campus, exhibition history, events, and the acquisition of personal papers. Among the objects on display is Old Violinist, the first remaining work purchased for the MFAH.
