Our History
The Museum of International Folk Art was founded by Florence Dibell Bartlett based on the belief that folk art would foster “an appreciation of the culture and craft of other countries” and provide “one avenue for a closer understanding between men.”
Strategic Plan 2020 - 2025
The Museum of International Folk Art expands the understanding of folk art and encourages dialogue about traditions, cultural identity, community, and aesthetics. The museum is a dynamic, multidimensional learning environment that is an integral part of community life. Our collection and programming provide important connections between past, present, and future folk art and related traditions.
