        ----------

        In 1941 Alice and George Tweed donated the Joseph Cotton Mansion located at 2309 East 1st Street for the UMD Art Department. In 1958 the Tweed Art Gallery was built as part of the Humanities Building on the main campus. Over the years funding for the museum exhibits, renovation and scholarships, have continued to come from the Tweed Tuohy Foundation. The Tweed Art Collection was donated in 1950 and the family home, located on 2631 East 7th Street, was donated in 1954. Today, the Tweed Museum is named for Alice Tweed Tuohy and contains the George P. Tweed Memorial Art Collection in addition to exhibit space for other art collections, a museum store, and art restoration and storage space.
