Peabody Gallery of Art.

Hide Profile

Established 1866, Baltimore, Md.

Founded by George Peabody to improve "the moral and intellectual culture of the inhabitants of Baltimore and ... the State." The institute was to include a research library, lecture series, academy of music and gallery of art. Served as Baltimore's art school and museum until the opening of the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1914 and the Walters Gallery in 1934. To enlarge the space available to the expanding conservatory of music, much of the Peabody collection was transferred to these institutions. Works of art belonging to the Peabody are still exhibited regularly including occasional exhibitions at the Institute.
