	Rockefeller Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rockefeller Museum, located in East Jerusalem, houses a vast collection of regional archeology unearthed in excavations conducted in the country mainly during the time of the British Mandate of Palestine (1919-1948).
		The design of the museum was assigned to Austen St. Barbe Harrison, the chief architect of the Mandatory Department of Public Works, who planned a magnificent, white limestone structure, integrating in it eastern and western architectural elements.
		The cornerstone of the new museum was laid on June 19, 1930 and the doors were opened to the public on January 13, 1938.

	The Rockefeller Archive Center - Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Biographical Sketch
		Rockefeller became interested in the living conditions of the employees of the Bayway Refinery of Standard Oil, located in the Bayway section of Elizabeth, New Jersey.
		Although the idea of establishing a museum dedicated to fostering modern art had been floating about since the celebrated Armory Show of 1913, it was not until Abby Rockefeller began to solicit the advice of her own friends during the winter of 1928-1929 that the idea moved toward realization.
		Rockefeller gave the museum its first formal purchase funds; these were augmented in 1938 by another gift and increased by half by Nelson A. Rockefeller in his mother's name.

		Although The Metropolitan Museum of Art made its first acquisitions among these fields—a group of Peruvian antiquities—as early as 1882, and a pair of Mexican eagle reliefs was given by the American artist Frederic Church in 1893, no significant commitment to the arts of Africa, Oceania, or the Americas was made until 1969.
		Today the collection of the Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas is housed in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, named for Nelson Rockefeller's son, who collected many of the Asmat objects from Papua Province (western New Guinea), Indonesia, that are now in the Museum.
		The Rockefeller Wing, designed as a mirror image of the Sackler Wing, opened to the public in February 1982 with 40,000 square feet of exhibition space on the south side of the Museum.
