Collector Without Walls: Norton Simon and His Hunt for the Best

by Sara Campbell

The American art collector Norton Simon assembled his astonishing collection of more than 8,000 artworks in just thirty-five years. In 1966, with no permanent home for the growing collection, Simon created his "museum without walls" program--lending works to American museums--which continued until 1974, when his collection was housed in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, today considered one of the finest museums in the United States.
