Holbrook's Trunk

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

National Architecture Week continues

The Georgia Museum of Art is hardly the only museum around undergoing expansion or construction these days. Here's a selection of others we've been following on Art Daily:


The Smithsonian has selected Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup as the firm to design the National Museum of African American History and Culture, pictured above. There's a slideshow with more images at the New York Times website.


The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is reopening its reinstalled American art galleries in its new building.


The Boston Museum's development team has announced its plans for the new building in downtown Boston.


The British Museum has announced plans for a major expansion designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP).


And the North Carolina Museum of Art is one year from opening its huge new space.

The Georgia Museum of Art


The Georgia Museum of Art, the official state museum of art, strives to fulfill the legacy of its founder, Alfred Heber Holbrook, who was so dedicated to promoting the importance of art that he would load paintings into the trunk of his car and take off around the state. His impulse to sing the praises of the visual arts—in as relatable a way as possible—still drives us and this weekly blog today. Visit our website at georgiamuseum.org.
