Renee Cushman Museum
July 21, 2008 by arizonan
The Renee Cushman Museum can be found in the town of Springerville. Renee Cushman came from a prominent European artist. Her family traveled extensively around the world. After marrying a second time, she moved to the White Mountain Hereford Ranch in Springerville. She lived in Springville, until 1950 when she moved again. Then in 1969, she died leaving her collection to the Latter-day Saints in Springerville.
The museum is in one wing of the Latter Day Saints building and is appropriately designed to show her treasured pieces. Many of the pieces range from the Renaissance period to the 20th century. You will discover some interesting pieces of art that are quite amazing. There are three ink drawings by Tiepolo, a complete set of Austrian china and a single piece by Sir Godfrey Kneller.
The museum is in the LDS Springerville Ward at 150 N. Aldrice Burk. The museum is open by appointment when you call 333-2821. The museum is a unique stop.
