In the 1950’s Meadows founder Algur H. Meadows had a vision of a "Prado on the Prairie" and built one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside Spain, the core of the museum. The deal includes all the academic trimmings: an exchange of interns, symposia, lectures, publications andeducational programming! Why travel?
