The Walton Family Foundation—a philanthropic organization established by Walmart founders Sam and and Helen Walton—has donated $10 million to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The bequest was made in honor of John Wilmerding, a curator, deputy director and trustee at the museum, as well as a celebrated American art scholar. The donation will help establish the John Wilmerding Fund for Education in American Art. Wilmerding also served as a primary advisor for Walmart heiress Alice Walton, when she established the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, in 2011.
