historical notes
|
Architect and Designer, Alexander Hayden Girard, and his wife, Susan Girard, amassed a collection which included folk and popular art, toys, and textiles from around the world. The collection is displayed via the Girard Foundation (founded 1962).
In 1978, the Girard Foundation donated the objects to the Santa Fe Museum of International Folk Art, where they remain the core of the world's most important collection of cross-cultural folk art.
