Brigham Young University Museum of Art

The Brigham Young University Museum of Art, situated in Provo, Utah, United States is the college's essential workmanship historical center and is extraordinary compared to other gone to college grounds craftsmanship exhibition halls in the United States. The gallery, which had been talked about for in excess of fifty years, opened in a 10,000-square-foot 930 m2 space in October 1993 with an extensive show on the Etruscans. The exhibition hall is an essential piece of the BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications and gives chances to understudies over the school and the college's campus.

In 1960 or 1959, Brigham Young University got a gift of Mahonri Young's specialty accumulation, which included more than 10,000 works of art. Before the historical center was made, fine art was put away in the Harris Fine Arts Center. Lacking a historical center, the college permitted educators into storage spaces to choose craftsmanship to beautify their workplaces, despite the fact that a portion of the canvases was exceptionally profitable. One workmanship educator, Wesley M. Burnside, perceived the estimation of the gathering and as a custodian, sold, exchange, and buy pieces, in the end turning into the accumulation's acquisitions chief, however his part should be restricted to making proposals to the staff advisory group.

A few craftsmanship merchants perceived Burnside's freshness in workmanship managing and exploited his naivete and absence of record keeping to make unreasonable exchanges or out and out take works. When Burnside resigned in 1984, the new dignitary of the craftsmanship office, James Mason, requested a review and found that in excess of 900 fine arts were stolen, missing, or sold without approval, at lost just about 4 million dollars.
