Collection Overview
The Haitian Collection documents the flowering of a rich artistic tradition within the island nation of Haiti since the 1940s. In 1967, the Davenport Museum of Art established one of the first collections of Haitian art in the United States. Donations made by Dr. Walter E. Neiswanger, a long-time museum patron and trustee, form the majority of the comprehensive collection which ranges from the first generation to the most recent developments.
