Washington University (Saint Louis, Mo.). School of Fine Arts
The Washington University College of Art, located in St. Louis, Missouri, was founded in 1879. In 1878, Wayman Crow, one of the founders of Washington University, sought to dedicate a new museum to his late son, Wayman Crow, Jr. To accompany the museum, the University also created an independent school, creating the St. Louis School and Museum of Fine Arts, the first art school west of the Mississippi River. In 1906, the museum moved to Forest Park and was rededicated as the St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts.
