How it began:
The Art Rental program was started by the museum’s founding director, Hudson Walker, in 1934. Together with his wife Ione, he assembled the collection of American art the forms the heart of the museum’s collection today. The Art Rental program was a way to bring original art into the everyday lives of students, faculty, and staff at the University.
