Founding of the Lancaster Museum of Art

The Lancaster Museum of Art has been providing visitors with stunning exhibits since its founding in 1965. At this time, a group of artists and community leaders came together to create a leading source for culture, education, and art. The Lancaster Museum of Art was established for the people living in Lancaster, as well as those visiting the region. For almost half a century, this mission has continued, relocating to a variety of locations before settling in the Grubb Mansion, adjacent to Musser Park. This great location allows visitors to stroll the urban park before or after perusing the museum!
