Lisan Kay Nimura Collection

Lisan Kay Nimura Collection 

Dancer Lisan Kay Nimura’s personal collection documents life in the artist studios once inside Carnegie Hall. She taught at Ballet Arts (founded by her husband Yeichi Nimura and Virginia Lee), which was home to well-known dancers and choreographers. Portraits, dance rehearsal snapshots, travel and family photographs, and artwork in this collection span 1900 to 1994.
