Back in 1917 art collector Sallie Casey offered over 7,000 art objects to help fund a museum to help inspire art in the mid-west. This eclectic collection had furniture, vases, paintings, sculptures, drawings, textiles and much more. The museum later generally expanded when it accumulated the University of Kansas Museum of Anthropology. It gained over 8,000 cultural objects, with a majority being Native American tools and artwork.
