Baron Missakian Collection

The Missakian Collection was donated by Nadine Missakian, widow of Baron Siroon Missakian. This collection serves as historical documentation of Laugh-O-Gram Films, a production company established by Walt Disney, a friend of Missakian’s whose office was located across the hall in the same building. Disney’s personal secretary was Nadine, who later married Baron Missakian.
