The Baltimore Museum of Art announced today that it has received a $5 million gift from longtime supporters Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff to establish a center dedicated to the presentation, study, and preservation of its 65,000-object collection of prints, drawings, and photographs.

The 7,000 square-foot space will be on the museum’s first floor, next to the previously announced Ruth R. Marder Center for Matisse Studies. It will be called The Nancy Dorman and Stanley Mazaroff Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings and Photographs.

The museum, which will reopen in phases starting tomorrow, is raising $10 million for the new center, and the gift from Dorman and Mazaroff is the largest single donation. Other funds will come from the State of Maryland, City of Baltimore, France-Merrick Foundation, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
