Support The Gordon B. Lankton Collections Fund
Museum founder Gordon B. Lankton was a studious and passionate collector. Through business trips to Moscow, he came to love Russian culture and the sacred Eastern Christian art of the icon. To continue his legacy, the Museum has created the Gordon B. Lankton Collections Fund, which will ensure his vision is shared by visitors from all walks of life and worldwide.
