The Museum Building
 New gallery for American Decorative Arts |
The first renovation of the Clark’s original museum building since it opened in 1955 adds more than 2,300 square feet of new gallery space for display of the Clark collection. Architect Annabelle Selldorf’s sensitive reconfiguration of former office and storage areas into new galleries on two levels enables the Clark to present more of its collection without disrupting the museum’s original atmosphere and scale. |
Enhancements to the museum building include:
—A new west-facing entrance that returns the building to its original east-west axis
—A 15 percent increase in space for expanded displays of the Clark’s collection, including:
- A new gallery for American art
- Renovated galleries for paintings and sculpture
- New lighting and climate control systems
- Renovated spaces for offices, storage, and building controls
