WHO GOT THE ART ? THE COLLECTION OF GEORGE A. LUCAS - BALTIMORE - WALTERS

According to Wikipedia, "Lucas wrote his will, died a couple months later, and he gave his art to Henry Walters (not his niece Bertha) but with the understanding that the collection would go to the Maryland Institute for the Promotion of Mechanic Arts (MICA), which had been destroyed in 1904 during a great fire.  But in 1933 most of the art went to the BALTIMORE MUSEUM OF ART on a loan.  Today it is part of the permanent collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum.
