Be a fly on the wall as Maxwell Anderson chats up art-world VIPs.

Adjacent to the Museum and located on 100 acres that includes untamed woodlands, wetlands, meadows and a 35-acre lake, 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park will be one of the largest museum art parks in the country, and the only one to feature the ongoing commission of site-specific artworks.

The National Gallery's site offers sampling of what one will see when visiting the Sculpture Garden. The Sculpture section discusses the main pieces found in the garden while the Plantings section shows the horticulture that enhances the space. The Chronology and Construction sections discuss the history and development of this unique attraction.

Since 1998 the IMA has submitted works being considered for acquisition to the Art Loss Register, an international database that maintains a record of stolen works of art, and systematic provenance research on European paintings has been underway at the Museum since January 2003. Learn more here.
