The museum is located one block from the White House. It is the largest private, non-federal art museum in the city. Founded in 1869, it is one of the oldest museums in the U.S. The Corcoran was founded as an institution to be "dedicated to art, and used solely for the purpose of encouraging the American genius."[ Last Updated: 30-May-2003 | Hits: 95 | Reader Comments Report Problem
