Cowan’s partners with museums, historical societies and institutions to identify, appraise, acquire and de-accession fine art, antiques and historically significant objects.

Many of our specialists came from museum, art institute or historical society positions prior to joining Cowan’s. Because of this, we understand the needs of non-profit institutions – especially the need for all transactions to be handled with discretion.

Cowan’s has had the privilege of working with many fine museums and institutions, including:museum-logos
