The Bronx Museum has raised $1 million for acquisitions and has added works by several major artists to its permanent collection.
The museum was founded in 1971 and began building a collection in 1986, is typically able to spend $10,000 to $50,000 a year for acquisitions. It receives donations and bequests of work, but it has often struggled to add significant works.
