History


Formosa, as Ney called the studio, was completed in 1893 and enlarged in 1902. It was the earliest art studio built in Texas. After she died in 1907, Ella and Joseph B. Dibrell purchased the building to preserve it as an art center in memory of her.[1] The City of Austin assumed ownership of it in 1941 and it is managed through the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department. In addition to being a local and state historic landmark, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 1972.


From July 1980 to November 1982, the museum was closed for restoration and the installation of a climate-control system. It is currently undergoing another major renovation funded through a grant from the Save America's Treasures project and a 2006 voter-approved bond.[2]



Collection





Busts on display inside the museum


The museum houses a collection of originals and replicas of Ney's works, along with many of her personal belongings and tools. The more than fifty sculptures and medallions on display include her portraits of European figures such as King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Otto von Bismarck, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Arthur Schopenhauer, as well as her American-period sculptures of William Jennings Bryan, Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Albert Sidney Johnston, and Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth.[3]
