My cousin sent me this link about art museum.
The Museum Support Center: Preserving the Army’s history through art | Soldiers Magazine
From the site:
In a nondescript building just off the beaten path on Fort Belvoir, Va., stands a state-of-the-art facility that houses priceless works of art and artifacts that tell the stories of an army and its Soldiers.
"Much of this art was created by Soldiers“ virtually all of it portrays Soldiers.
"World War I is when the Army Art Program officially started. Now, there have been artists recording battles since battles began", Forgey continued. "There's a big tradition of artwork inspired by war. Our program started in World War I with eight artists, and those artists were sent to France and commissioned as captains in the Corps of Engineers."
