History Museum
The museum was created based on the collection of Daniel J. Terra (1911 - 1996). Frenchman of Italian heritage, a chemist by profession, he must state his invention of instant drying ink. In 1940 he founded his own company (Lawter Chemicals) and earned a lot of money that allowed him to do the gathering. First, he assembled a collection of British landscapes, 18 and 19 centuries. And then became interested in American art.
Daniel J. Terra Collection reflects his personal tastes and his willingness to submit to American art outside the United States. Since 1980, when he was appointed ambassador extraordinary U.S., responsible for culture ", he devoted his life to this goal. To ensure the future of his collection, he created a fund (Terra Foundation for American Art). The first museum was opened in 1980 in Ivenstone (Illinois), later the museum's collection was divided into halves: one half in 1987, was exhibited at the Terra Museum of American Art in Chicago (now the museum is closed) and the second -- in 1992 at the Museum of American Art in Giverny.
