The museum acquired its first European work in 1907, the painting "Ignatius Sancho" by Thomas Gainsborough.[49] Conversely, the museum did not begin to develop its collection of American art until the 1970s.[49] The museum's collection includes American and European works dating from the Renaissance through to the 20th century.[49] In addition to Western art, the collection area also has 400 works from India, Nepal, and Tibet.[50]
