Today in Gallery History
On November 14, 1942, the Andrew W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust gave $5,000,000 to the National Gallery of Art to establish an endowment fund. Andrew Mellon had proposed such an endowment in 1936 when he offered to give his art collection to the nation and to construct the museum.
