The Terra Museum of American Art was founded in 1980 by Chicago businessman Daniel J. Terra in Evanston, Illinois, before relocating to Chicago in 1987. Over its 24-year operation, the museum showcased over 200 exhibitions on American art and offered diverse programs for various audiences.
After closing in 2004, the Terra Foundation for American Art continued to expand its collection and make significant loans to institutions worldwide, with a selection of paintings on long-term loan to the Art Institute of Chicago.
