The museum grew from the private collection of John and Dominique de Menil, who purposefully curated a diverse and eclectic range of art rather than a comprehensive, singular historical-driven collection. This unique approach created a distinctive imbalance of styles that remains a cornerstone of the institution.story_potoo
