Break New Ground: Facilities

With such a large collection in just over 10,000 square feet of gallery space, we are bursting at the seams! More space will mean the ability to display more works of art and to increase research and conservation efforts while offering more dynamic, flexible programmatic and educational spaces and public amenities. We want to provide our community with the greatest ease of access and latest innovations that updated and reimagined spaces can offer.
