AKC Museum of the Dog is a nonprofit canine museum at 101 Park Avenue in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The museum features exhibits that include: Dogs in film, dogs of presidents, war dogs, dogs in exploration.[1] The museum features one of the largest collections of dog-related art.[2][3]
The museum began in 1982 with donations from benefactors Frank Sabella, Marie Moore, Nancy-Carol Draper and the Westminster Kennel Foundation. The permanent collection of art consists of Bronze and ceramic sculpture, and paintings. The museum is a subsidiary of the American Kennel Club.[2]
The museum displays artwork by renowned artists: Edwin Landseer, Maud Earl and Arthur Wardle.[3] Much of the artwork is from the 19th century and the early 20th century.[4]
A great deal of the work is from the late 1800s (the AKC was founded in 1884) and the early 20th century, with little abstract or contemporary art.
