Prior to this, LACMA was part of the [[Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County\|Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art]], founded in 1910 in [[Exposition Park (Los Angeles)\|Exposition Park]] near the [[University of Southern California]]. [[Howard F. Ahmanson, Sr.]], [[Anna Bing Arnold]] and [[Bart Lytton]] were the first principal patrons of the museum. Ahmanson made the lead donation of $2 million, convincing the museum board that sufficient funds could be raised to establish the new museum. In 1965 the museum moved to a new Wilshire Boulevard complex as an independent, art-focused institution, the largest new museum to be built in the United States after the [[National Gallery of Art]]. [[Edward W. Carter]] helped orchestrate the fundraising effort for LACMA in response to [[J.
