Gift of the Estate of Virginia Gunter

DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park was established over 50 years ago through a bequest made by successful businessman Julian de Cordova (1851–1945). He envisioned a place where art would continue to educate and excite beyond his lifetime. To meet that end, de Cordova provided for his estate to become a public museum of art following his death.

By including DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in your will, you can ensure that the quality exhibitions and educational programs that you have enjoyed throughout your lifetime will be enjoyed by many for years to come. Bequests may be made for general support or may be earmarked for specific programs or funds. Bequests of artwork are another way that you can help DeCordova build its Permanent Collection.
