Madison Museum of Fine Art is located on the town square of Madison, Georgia. The Museum is a member of the American Alliance of Museums and operates pursuant to their guidelines.〔(American Alliance of Museums. Official website )〕 Founded in 2005 by Michele L. Bechtell, Madison Museum of Fine Art (MMoFA) is an art history museum that features interior galleries, an outdoor sculpture garden, a continuous film corner, and a museum shop. Galleries display original works by American and European masters including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Marc Chagall, Charles Ethan Porter, and Joseph Leyendecker. From the African tradition, visitors will find hand-carved stone sculptures created by the first generation founding fathers of the Shona sculpture movement in Zimbabwe. The art museum provides innovative multi-disciplinary education to promote visual art literacy, demonstrate how art history enhances contemporary life, build appreciation for the permanent collection, offer an extra classroom setting for the study of original objects, and enrich lifelong learning. Original programming includes lectures, film, temporary exhibitions, and special events. Among other programmes, MMoFA dedicates significant resources to K-12 interdisciplinary visual art history including an annual K-12 student-curated museum exhibition of select works from the museum collection, an art/maths festival, an art/science festival, and a visual art and poetry collage festival. MMoFA is a Blue Star Museum〔(National Endowment for the Arts. Madison Museum of Fine Art. Blue Star Museum )〕 that offers free admission to military families. It routinely participates in the annual Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day, and it is a registered host for the international Slow Art Day.〔(Slow Art Day )〕 ==Notes and references== Sources: Where Magazine Atlanta, Georgia PBS, 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madison Museum of Fine Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
