BREAKING NEW GROUND |  THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART

THURSDAY.  Early morning, in a cold, dark, cavernous 640 foot hall reminiscing about a fantastic evening beer party (September 19, 2014) that the Young Friends of PMA gave in what they called the Vaulted Walkway.

The Young Friends of PMA, were excited that one day the Vaulted Walkway, closed in the 1960’s, would be revitalized and open for all the public to see, use and enjoy.

The Vaulted Walkway | Runs beneath the museum’s east terrace to the Schuylkill River on the west. Positioning for new underground galleries.

 

Well, the day has finally arrived members of the media were invited to the official groundbreaking to kick off the start of the major Core Project of the Museum’s Master Plan, designed by celebrated architect  Frank Gehry.

This $196 million expansion project is going to take a few years and it’s part of a $525 million fundraising campaign to completely revamp the Museum’s interior, enhance programming and add to the endowment.  Said Gehry: “When it’s done, people coming to this museum will have an experience that’s as big as Bilbao.”

I’ve never been to the Guggenheim I’m willing to wait.
