FLEISCHER MUSEUM
Impressionism & special exhibitions
Please note:
Unfortunately this museum has closed it's door on Nov. 15, 2002.
It was planned to reopen at a new location in Downtown Scottsdale
which is now uncertain. For more infos please go to the
official website
of the Fleicher Museum and read the 'press release'.
Because of several interesting visits, photos I took there and my hope
that this museum will reopen someday/somewhere I posted this on my website.
Location: 17207 N. Perimeter Dr., Scottsdale 85255
Fleischer Museum. It was the first American museum dedicated to
American Impressionism, California School (1890-1930s); displayed also
Russian and Soviet Impressionism of the Cold War era (1930-1980s).
But the museum also showed some other very interesting special exhibitions like
"Buffalo Bill's Wild West" and items from Mort Fleischer's stunning private
collection of beautiful saddles and more.
