Butler Institute of American Art
Butler Institute of American Art, Art museum in Youngstown, United States.
The Butler Institute of American Art displays over 22,000 works across three centuries of American visual arts in a historic McKim, Mead & White building.
Joseph G. Butler Jr. established this institution in 1919 as the first museum dedicated entirely to collecting and exhibiting art produced in the United States.
The museum collection features Winslow Homer's painting 'Snap the Whip', depicting children playing outside a rural schoolhouse against a mountain landscape.
Located at 524 Wick Avenue, the museum remains open Tuesday through Sunday, offering free admission to visitors interested in exploring American art.
Norman Rockwell's painting 'Lincoln the Railsplitter', purchased from Ross Perot for 1.6 million dollars in 2007, represents a central piece of the collection.
