Michelson Museum of Art

The Michelson Museum of Art was established after Janine Michelson of New York City and Paris, France, widow of artist Leo Michelson, selected Marshall, Texas, as the permanent home for her husband’s work. In January 1985, a group of dedicated Marshallites visited Mrs. Michelson in New York and accepted her gift of the collection, consisting of more than 1.000 works of art created by Mr. Michelson.  After fundraising and finding a suitable temporary location, the museum opened in May 1985. The mission of the Michelson Museum of Art is to bring art and people together for enjoyment, discovery, and education.
