New building, 1925-1930

 Series

Scope and Contents

These two scrapbooks were compiled by the Museum architects, Zantzinger, Borie and Medary. The first consists of the media coverage generated across the country over the construction of the new building at Fairmount. The second records the various formal openings of the new museum, worldwide public reaction as well as articles featuring various details of the building.

Both scrapbooks were microfilmed by Archives of American Art in 1954.
