pool for its soldiers.A new filtration system was installed in
1994, and a renovation of the pool was completed in 1999.

In 1967 Mr. and Mrs. Norton Walbridge, significant donors to
the Museums’s European and American galleries, began to

building. Due in large part to the arrival of this major contri-
bution in the late 1960s, the May S. Marcy Sculpture Court
and Garden, located adjacent to the Museum, was created as
a grand outdoor exhibition space.
