City Club Missoula
11:30 AM  Holiday Inn Downtown at the Park
Description:
City Club Missoula Presents:
Hidden Treasure in the Treasure State:
Montana Museum of Art & Culture
with Barbara Koostra
If you're a citizen of Montana, you're an owner of the largest fine art collection between Seattle and Minneapolis. It's a collection that visionaries at The University of Montana began 118 years ago, just a year after UM itself was founded. Its 11,000 pieces include a suite of Edgar Paxson works, art by Rembrandt, Andy Warhol, Rudy Autio, Frederic Remington, a print collection that wows experts and two prints by Edgar Degas, recent donations.
But the public can only see ½ of 1 percent of the collection in two small galleries at any given time because the museum has no home. The masterpieces are stored in seven locations around campus. What would we see if we could visit each work? And what's in the future for the collection? Museum Director Barbara Koostra will present a fascinating look at this collection of treasures.
