Abstract:

In 1924, a group assembled to support construction of a state art museum. In 1947, the North Carolina legislature set aside one $1 million for the purpose. Almost ten years later the museum opened its doors on Morgan street in Raleigh. The North Carolina Museum of art is credited as the first state sponsored art museum in the nation
