National Museum of Art/Mathers Hall

The Mathers Hall is the sixth hall of the National Museum of Art. It is named after Mr. Alexander Mathers (1906-1992). He was a rich financier who donated a large amount of his collection to the NMA in 1990. The NMA already had works like these but they were scattered across the museum. In 1991 this hall was opened to the public.

The works here consists of modern European Art, from the 1910s to the early 1980s. Artists featured here include Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Salvador Dalí, Man Ray and Kazimierz Malevich. The majority of the works on display here are by Dutch artist Karel Appel.
