This is the museum's own current statement of its governing board, self-published on its own website rather than independent scholarship. For a fact of exactly this shape, who legally holds and governs the institution, self-report from the institution itself is ordinary and reliable practice: a museum's corporate governance is a matter of public record it has no incentive to misstate, unlike a claim about its collection's history or attribution, where self-interest can run the other way. It is the right source for the plain organizational fact it states and for nothing beyond it; a claim about the museum's history, acquisitions or scholarly standing needs a dedicated outside source.

The Walters Art Museum's own current statement of its governing board, self published on its own website, the middle tier reflecting that self report is ordinary and reliable practice for a plain organizational fact of exactly this shape, who legally holds and governs the institution, weighed against the ordinary limit that it is not independent scholarship and cannot speak to the museum's history, acquisitions or scholarly standing.
Notes
Cited narrowly for the museum's governance: an independent nonprofit board, the Trustees of the Walters Art Gallery, Inc., a Maryland educational corporation created by the General Assembly in 1933 after Henry Walters bequeathed the collection to the city in 1931.
