Maryhill Museum of Art occupies a historic Beaux-Arts mansion that is situated high above the Columbia River in south-central Washington state. Conceived in 1917, it was dedicated by Queen Marie of Romania in 1926 and opened to the public in 1940. The museum collection contains European and American paintings, works on paper, and decorative arts; a sculpture collection with many works by Auguste Rodin; gilded furniture from Romanian royal palaces; ecclesiastical arts (especially Russian icons); an international array of chess sets; and the Théâtre de la Mode—miniature mannequins that are displayed in stage sets and attired in mid-1940s Paris fashions. Maryhill is also home to Balkan and Central American folk clothing (most notably Romanian and Macedonian garments), numerous vintage women’s hats, and more than 1,200 baskets from Indigenous North America.
