关于我们
Saint Mary’s College of California began collecting art in the early 20th century. Founded by professor Brother Fidelis Cornelius Braeg in 1934, the collection comprised landscape paintings by artist 威廉·基斯 (1838–1911). As a professor, Brother Cornelius wrote 老 Master of California, the paramount 威廉·基斯 biography, after spending years working with 威廉·基斯's widow 玛丽·麦克亨利·基思.
The gallery was expanded in 1977 with a grant from the Hearst Art Foundation and reopened as the Hearst Art Gallery. Through this expansion, the gallery began exhibiting work and objects, including ethnographic materials and Western artists.
In 2011, the Hearst Art Gallery completed an extensive renovation and expansion project. Through the generosity of donors, the museum expanded its exhibition space by forty percent and built a large storage and maintenance facility. Following Brother Cornelius' legacy, this expansion ensures continued excellence in exhibitions and care for the Museum’s permanent collection. The Hearst Art Gallery became the Saint Mary's College 艺术博物馆 through this expansion. The 艺术博物馆 continues to provide quality exhibits while managing a permanent collection of over 5,000块.
