Michelson Museum of Art
The East Texas Weekend Preview — After the passing of world-renowned artist, Leo Michelson, his collection of watercolor paintings, woodcut illustrations and other works were in need of a proper home.
In 1985, a group of Marshall locals accepted a gift of over a thousand of his art pieces from Michelson’ wife in New York.
Today, you can admire his many creations, as well many featured exhibits of local artists throughout the Michelson Museum of Art.
Stroll room after room and examine stunning paintings, life-like drawings and intriguing sculptures.
We fell in love with the oceanic scene painting of Louis Eilshemius’ American. Full of bright colors and whimsical strokes.
