mellon 25 years ago for an exclusive interview about his father's gift to the nation. we had to dig deep into the archives to bring you this report. ♪ >> reporter: in the spring of 1941, america's national gallery of art opened its doors. president franklin roosevelt presided. hundreds attended the opening. the man who made it possible, the man whose idea it was to have a national art treasure, who gave the money, chose the architect, oversaw the construction and contributed his own private collection worth millions. andrew mellon wasn't there to see his dream a reality. he died just four years before the gallery celebrated opening. his name is not above the door. he wanted this to belong to america. his son, paul mellon, remembers. >> my father, having been in the government fte

lived in washington, having realized there was no national gallery here, thought that there ought to be a national gallery. >> reporter: he said his father wasn't always an art connoisseur. andrew mellon is remembered in history as one of the wealthiest and most important banker industrialists. paul mellon said his father began to love art through travels with arthur frick. there's little written about the private side of andrew mellon. paul mellon says his father was quiet man. >> he wasn't really a person very easy to get to know well. >> but when andrew mellon put his mind to anything, he seemed to be able to make it happen. he was successful in banking, in business, as a secretary of treasury under three presidents and as

of st. james in england. from his first years in washington he was determined to build a national treasury of art. >> a lot of the visits who used to come to his apartment to see his pictures would ask why there wasn't a national gallery in washington. or where is the national gallery? and he had to say there is no national gallery. so maybe he was little bit ashamed that there was no national gallery. and that, i think, is the main reason he wanted it without his name. >> reporter: so, for those who have come to view the much expanded collection now housed in the gallery, andrew mellon has left a very special place. a place as franklin roosevelt said is known not by his name but by the nation's. paul mellon, who died in 1999 provided the funds for the east wing and contributed much of the valuable contents there today. they'll celebrate him
