The Elisabet Ney Museum is a museum located in Austin, Texas, United States. It is housed in the former studio of sculptor Elisabet Ney and is dedicated to showcasing her life and works. There is a permanent collection of her portrait busts and personal memorabilia on display. ''Formosa'', as Ney called the studio, was completed in 1893 and enlarged in 1902. It was the earliest art studio built in Texas. After she died in 1907, Ella and Joseph B. Dibrell purchased the building to preserve it as an art center in memory of her.〔("Elisabet Ney Museum". ''Handbook of Texas Online )〕 The City of Austin assumed ownership of it in 1941 and it is managed through the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department. In addition to being a local and state historic landmark, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 1972. From July 1980 to November 1982, the museum was closed for restoration and the installation of a climate-control system. It is currently undergoing another major renovation funded through a grant from the Save America's Treasures project and a 2006 voter-approved bond.〔("Austin landmark to undergo major restoration".
