Gifts of the Ida Belle Young Art Acquisition Fund
Thanks to the generosity of the late Ida Belle Young, the Museum has acquired a range of American treasures in recent years and will continue to do so. Montgomery Museum Docents present each work in depth, and the course addresses Ida Belle’s legacy, how the Museum acquired the works, and ways in which young visitors engage the pieces.
Shown are docents presenting the various works acquired through the Ida Belle Young Fund.
