Biography

Lloyd Rollins, museum director, and noted art collector, was the son of artist Mary Rollins. From 1909-12, he studied at the San Francisco Institute of Art. After graduating from Berkeley University in 1923, he went to Harvard to take graduate courses. He then became a staff member at the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard. He returned to San Francisco in 1930 and served three years as the first director of the De Young Museum and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, informally merging the two museums. He devoted his tenure to organizing the collections of the two museums, devoting the De Young Museum to decorative and graphic arts and the Legion Museum to painting and sculpture. Rollins then took over the position of director at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts for one year. Subsequently, he worked as an art expert until his fatal heart attack in 1970.
