Tampa Museum of Art acquires new Haitian art collection, $1M gift

Earlier this month, the Tampa Museum of Art announced that it closed on a gift of 88 pieces of Haitian art and a $1 million gift in support of the collection. The exhibition will provide a springboard for educational and scholarly opportunities.

The paintings, sculptures, and framed maps, along with the cash gift, were bequeathed to the Museum by the Arthur R. Albrecht Revocable Trust. Albrecht was a devoted collector of Haitian art and was active in philanthropy on behalf of the country.

The $1 million gift complements ongoing fundraising efforts by the museum’s Centennial Campaign for Renovation and Expansion.
