Knoxville Museum of Art

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Knoxville Museum of Art is an art museum located at 1050 World's Fair Park in Knoxville, Tennessee. The museum includes five galleries, as well as a Sculpture Terrace, an Exploratory Gallery, a computer-interactive ARTcade, and two large outdoor garden areas.

The museum was founded by Mary Katherine Dulin Folger in 1961 as the Dulin Gallery of Art. The museum merged with the Knoxville Art Center in 1962. The name was changed in 1987 to the Knoxville Museum of Art.

Before moving to the World's Fair site, it was housed in the H.L. Dulin House at 3100 Kingston Pike. The Dulin House was designed in 1915 by prominent architect John Russell Pope in the Neoclassical Revival style. The museum moved to the Candy Factory building at the World's Fair site in 1987. The present 53,200 square foot museum building was completed in 1990 following an $11 million community fundraising campaign. It was designed by New York architect Edward Larrabee Barnes. The steel and concrete building has an exterior skin of Tennessee pink marble. The building is named for Jim Clayton, who was the largest donor to its construction.
