Description

The project restored the museum's original 1933 Art Deco structure, modernized galleries, and added a 13,905-square-foot wing containing a new gallery, community meeting room, and offices, while strengthening the building's connection to Volunteer Park through a new Park Lobby and an enhanced Fuller Garden Court.
