MAKING A CLASSIC MODERN:

FRANK GEHRY’S MASTER PLAN
FOR THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART

1 JULY - 1 SEPTEMBER 2014
PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART – PHILADELPHIA, USA

On July 1, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will unveil Frank Gehry’s comprehensive plan for the renovation and expansion of its home on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, a project that will enable the Museum to display much more of its world-renowned collection.

Making a Classic Modern will include large-scale models, site plans, sections, and renderings. It will offer a first look at Gehry’s plan, introducing visitors to the various ways in which Gehry and his creative team have addressed the challenges and opportunities involved in updating this historic building.
