| dc.description.abstract |
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's (MFAH) predecessor, the Houston
Art League was founded in 1900 under the name of the Houston Public School Art League.
The League was chartered as the Houston Art League in 1913. In 1917, the League
dedicated the site of the MFAH's present Caroline Wiess Law building. The original
segment of the building was designed by William Ward Watkin. It was completed in 1924,
with the wings added two years later. In 1929, the Houston Art League charter with the
state of Texas was officially amended to change the organization's legal name to the
Museum of Fine Arts of Houston (later, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston). |
