3. Why was MoLAA founded?
As an avid art collector, Dr. Robert Gumbiner realized that there was substantial chasm in the world of art in the United States. That chasm being that while there were traveling exhibits, there were no dedicated museums to the prolific genre of Latin American Art. Looking to fill that void in a significant manner, he set out to establish what is now known as the Museum of Latin American Art.
