SINGLE SOURCE

The claim that more than 280 artists, including Marina Abramović, Isa Genzken, and Dan Graham are featured, is found in one specific source ('Broadening Access To Contemporary Art'). Other sources mention the museum generally but not this specific count and list of artists.

Claim 15: “Featuring the private collection of founder Armando Martins, which spans more than five decades, the museum first opened its doors to the public in March 2025.”

SINGLE SOURCE

While one source mentions the museum opened on 'March 22', the provided evidence for this specific claim index consists of irrelevant results about the Moses Lake Museum. However, looking at the evidence for Claim 0, one source mentions it opened March 22. Since the specific 'March 2025' date is not corroborated by multiple independent sources in the provided evidence set, it remains single-source or uncorroborated.
