Came across this picture postcard of the Seattle Art Museum sent in December, 1941. President of the Art Institute of Seattle Richard Fuller was granted permission to relocate to Volunteer Park in the 1930’s. The Seattle Art Museum opened there on June 23, 1933. The building was designed by Carl Gould, who was then head of the University of Washington School of Architecture. In 1991 the Seattle Art Museum opened at its new building in downtown Seattle and in 1994 the original building was rededicated as the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
