Harris & Ewing Collection / Public domain · resizedfile
Henry Walters, heir to a railway fortune, extended his father William's collecting into some 22,000 works spanning ancient Egypt to Art Nouveau, and on his death in 1931 left the whole collection and its gallery building to the city of Baltimore. The Walters Art Museum is run with public funding and has been free to enter since 2006, which makes it one of the most open of the great American collector museums.
