 American Folk Art Museum formerly Museum of American Folk Art, New York
Chartered as the Museum of Early American Folk Arts when it was founded in 1961, the Museum originally focused on the vernacular arts of 18th and 19th century America, especially of the northeast.
The American Folk Art Museum’s Inaugural Season of Exhibitions, launched with the opening of the new building, will illustrate the Museum’s commitment to an expanded range of interests from traditional folk art of the 18th and 19th centuries to the work of contemporary self-taught artists from the U.S. and abroad.
Art will also be integrated into public spaces, such as the lobby, stairwells, and hallways, utilizing a system of niches throughout the building that offers interaction with a changing group of folk art objects beyond the gallery setting.
