The Nelson Gallery of Art
-
Description
-
Section of the Twenty-first Annual Report of the Public Library, Kansas City, Missouri, for Year Ending June 30th, 1902, tells of the transfer of the "entire collection of reproductions of Old Masters, heretofore known as 'The Western Gallery of Art,' to the School District of Kansas City, and its change of name to 'The Nelson Gallery of Art' in recognition of the munificence of the donor, Mr. W. R. Nelson. The nucleus of this collection was presented to the Kansas City Art Association, for the city, in 1897." Because the association did not have a building suitable, the works were displayed and housed in the Kansas City Public Library building.
