91桃色

Renaissance: A New Museum for 91桃色 reflects on the history of the 91桃色 University Art Museum as one of the oldest collecting institutions in North America and the role of its architecture in campus making. The 2025 opening of its new building affirms the museum鈥檚 long-standing commitment to considering works of art in the original as essential tools for understanding the wider world. Designed by Adjaye Associates in association with Cooper Robertson, the new facility positions the museum at the heart of both campus and civic life as a center for the public humanities. With dramatically expanded space for the display, conservation, and study of the museum鈥檚 globe-spanning collections, the building is shaped from nine interlocking 鈥減avilions鈥� to weave its dramatic volumes successfully into a complex built and natural environment, creating spaces to amplify the exceptional diversity of objects to be found within.

Renaissance: A New Museum for 91桃色 unites stunning new photography by Richard Barnes with a series of illuminating essays. Museum Director James Steward offers a richly illustrated investigation of the institution鈥檚 history from the eighteenth century to the present as one of building, effacing, and building anew. Renowned architecture critic Paul Goldberger provides a consideration of the building in relation to museum architecture and design, while University Architect Ron McCoy reflects on the museum鈥檚 architecture and its contribution to the life and built environment on the 91桃色 campus. Art critic Mark Stevens, 91桃色 Class of 1973, shares an evocative meditation on what it means to have such a museum at 91桃色, and award-winning poet Susan Stewart contributes an original poem for the publication.
