The oldest museum in Los Angeles, the USC Fisher Museum of Art was founded in 1939 by Elizabeth Holmes Fisher, who donated 29 paintings to start the collection. The only museum dedicated solely to fine art exhibitions and collections, the museum’s permanent collection today has more than 1,800 artworks that span five centuries. Highlights of the collection are Venus Wounded by a Thorn by Peter Paul Rubens, St. John the Evangelist by Anthony van Dyck, Lady Hamilton by George Romney, Mrs. Burroughs by Thomas Gainsborough, Femme Étendant Son Linge by Jean François Millet, and Richard Nixon by Andy Warhol. The museum is located on the USC Campus in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park and is part of a complex of museums that includes the California Science Center and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
