The De Cordova Museum is located on the former estate of Julian de Cordova, who donated his estate and art collection to the municipality under the condition that it would become a public museum of art after he died.
De Cordova spent much of his life traveling and collecting art from around the world. However, after his death it was determined that his personal collections were not of substantial interest or value and so a museum of regional contemporary art was established on the estate.
