Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum

The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum is a museum located in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, United States. Initially based on donations from Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, it was founded in 1957 and then subsequently expanded to contain a much higher number of objects of folk art. Today it includes more than 3,000 objects.
==History==

In 1935 philanthropist Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, wife of John D. Rockefeller Jr., founder of Colonial Williamsburg, lent a portion of her folk art collection to the Ludwell-Paradise House in Williamsburg.〔Gerard C.Wertkin and Lee Kogan, eds., Encyclopedia of American Folk Art (New York: Routledge, 2004), 1, http://www.questia.com/read/110904768〕 Four years later, she donated such collection, which remained in the Ludwell-Paradise House until 1956.
In 1956, two years after it had been announced that a museum bearing the Rockefeller name would be built in Williamsburg, David Rockefeller, Abby's son, reunited the collection of the Ludwell-Paradise House to 54 additional folk art objects, which Mrs. Rockefeller had donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.〔
The museum opened its doors in May 1957 as the ''Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection''. It changed names in 1977 to the ''Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center'' and again in 2000 as ''Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum''.〔
