About Terra Museum of American Art

The Terra Museum of American Art is a collection of American art founded by Chicago businessman Daniel J. Terra in Evanston, Illinois in 1980. The museum was relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1987. During its physical tenure, the museum presented more than 200 exhibitions on American art and provided related programs and events for children, teachers, families, general adult audiences, and scholars. The museum's physical location closed on October 31, 2004, after 24 years of operation, and it now serves as a lending collection and sponsors programing, as the Terra Foundation for American Art, which sometimes still uses the name Terra Museum.
