The Grace Museum

The Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas, 1992
This gem in Abilene, nestled into the renovated 1909 Grace Hotel, houses a collection of paintings, fine art prints, sculpture, and photographs with a focus on American art with Texas connections. When the city began gentrifying its downtown, which had withered away in the 1980s, the Abilene Preservation League created the museum and retained the services of historic restoration architect Rick Weatherl.
