Description
The Delgado Museum in City Park owes its existence to the fact that Isaac Delgado, who came into the possession of a collection of art treasures at the death of his aunt, could not bear to think of these objects d'art being scattered after his death. In 1910 he gave $150,000 for the erection of a museum, and in 1911 the present museum was opened, only a short time before the death of its donor. The museum became known as the New Orleans Museum of Art in September 1971.
