	Dahesh Museum of Art
		And the reason you might never have heard of the Dahesh Museum, aside from the fact it opened its doors as recently as 1995, is that it has as its stated goal, the preservation and promotion of 18th and 19th century Academic art...in New York, yet...not exactly a hotbed of Academicism.
		The self-proclaimed Dr. Dahesh is something of the proverbial "mystery wrapped in an enigma." Born in 1909, during the 1930s he began the establishment of a mystical cult today known as Daheshism.
		The Dahesh Museum takes pains to distance themselves from this group, though they appear to be funded by the same Saudi Arabian family, the Zahids.

	Press Releases
		With the Dahesh Museum of Art’s mission of reassessing the role of Europe’s academic artists in the context of nineteenth-century visual culture and Princeton’s commitment to providing an unparalleled educational experience to students and the public by engaging objects of art as primary sources, the show is a natural fit for both institutions.
		The Dahesh Museum of Art, which opened to the public in 1995, is the only institution in the United States devoted to collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting works by Europe’s academically trained artists of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		It is being coordinated at the Dahesh Museum of Art by Roger Diederen, curator, and at the Princeton University Art Museum by Betsy Rosasco, research curator of Later Western art.

	What is strange about the Dahesh Museum James Panero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Yet one can say that it is quite clear the Dahesh Museum will never be taken seriously as a fully accredited, scholarly institution until it confronts its own history: the record of collecting before 1995 by Dr. Dahesh and the Zahid family, the museum’s funding, and the aesthetic interests behind its creator, Dr.
		It may be that the directors of Dahesh hope simply to brush off the doctor’s heritage from the museum; or perhaps the Zahids have instructed their museum employees to keep silent on the matter.
		Dahesh may have been able to remove his head from his body, yet the Dahesh Museum enjoys no such luxury, and the museum’s current posture towards its own history is euthanastic.

		Hosting numerous exhibitions, the museum also undertakes several educational activities including lectures, scholarly symposia and, even more significant, activities geared specifically to the needs of children -- school trips and partnerships with city schools -- as well as adults requiring education, be they casual visitors, community members or visiting scholars.
		Such activities reflect the museum's conviction that art is an important and necessary part of the learning process from elementary to advanced study -- and that education remains a vital part of its mission.
		Commenting on the ultra-modern new building and the rather academic nature of the Dahesh collection, the architect who planned and executed the project explained that the building had to be "adapted without compromising the museum's mission of showing academic art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

		In this column, Queenan lays out a string of negative, empty assertions about the Dahesh Museum collection and concludes that it is "almost too bad to be true," without once explaining his reasons.
		The Dahesh is the only museum in the United States devoted to collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting works by Europe's academically trained artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
		Queenan says, in summary, that the Dahesh is a museum of "uncompromising twaddle," which is a good description - not of this innovative, feisty and creative museum, but of the content of Queenan's article.

	Dr. Dahesh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dahesh is the name-title and pen name of Saleem Moussa Ashi (1909–1984) founder of Daheshism.
		Dahesh is credited for accurately predicting in 1948 the Lebanese Civil War (which began in 1975), the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (a month before it occurred), as well as other predictions.
		It's amazing that the museum, the manuscripts and the books, all housed in a mansion nestled in the epicenter of the brutal Lebanese civil war, survived the exodus and in 1976 made their way safely across the waters to the shores of the United States of America.

		I looked around for a little bit, and I was very impressed with the branding and corporate culture the museum trustees have seen fit to implement.

		The Museum's goal is to present the works of these artists in the broader context of nineteenth-century visual culture and to offer a fresh appraisal of the essential role of academies.
		The Museum was named to honor Dr. Dahesh, the pen name of Salim Moussa Achi (1909–1984), a Lebanese author, philosopher, and champion of human rights whose passionate and prescient collecting of 19th- and early 20th-century academic art inspired the Museum's founding.
		Works drawn from the Dahesh Museum's permanent collection, by diverse artists such as Gustave Doré, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Charles-Théodore Frère, and Frederick Arthur Bridgman, will be displayed among the plates to demonstrate how the scientific vision was transformed into an artistic one, which, in turn, continues to shape many contemporary ideas of Egypt.

		Since 1995, however, the Dahesh Museum has bravely pushed on with some two dozen handsomely installed exhibitions, solidifying its status as the country's only museum dedicated to nineteenth and early twentieth-century academic art.
		The Dahesh is inaugurating its new, roomier quarters in the former IBM Gallery space with French Artists in Rome: Ingres to Degas, 1803-1873, an exhibition celebrating the bicentennial of another institutional move, that of the French Academy in Rome to the Villa Medici in 1803.
		Of course, this would be asking the Museum to chart a territory hardly explored by the Academy itself-nor, ironically, by a great many contemporary art thinkers more absorbed in issues of semiotics and anthropology.

		Sadly, the Telfair Museum* is constructing a new $24 million "state-of-the-art" Jepson Center which promises to be "Savannah's latest landmark building." Like so many civic and university museum additions, this project is almost certainly guaranteed to be disconnected from the visual character and spiritual purpose of the original institution.
