Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum, Art museum in Arlington, United States
The Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum is an art museum in Arlington, Massachusetts, housed in a Federal-style building dating from the 1800s. The collection holds more than 90 sculptures, medals, and paintings created by the museum's namesake artist.
The building was constructed in 1830 as the Jefferson Cutter House and reflects the architecture of that era. It earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 for its historical and architectural value.
The museum displays works by Cyrus Dallin, an artist who focused on depicting Native Americans in sculpture. His works appear in public spaces across several major American cities.
The museum is located in a residential building in downtown Arlington and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should expect to encounter some stairs, as exhibition rooms are spread across multiple floors.
The collection holds documents about Dallin's decades-long effort to create and fund the famous equestrian statue of Paul Revere in Boston. This project linked artistic vision with historical commemoration and demonstrates the persistence behind one of Boston's most recognizable monuments.
