Gehry's Quiet Interventions Reshape the Philadelphia Museum


Gehry’s Quiet Interventions Reshape the Philadelphia Museum
No billowing sails of glass or glimmering titanium in the renovation of the museum’s Beaux-Arts home. Equally surprising are several new shows and the American galleries.

Philadelphia Museum Opens after Extensive Renovation Project led by Frank Gehry

The scope of the Core Project was to preserve the historic exterior of the building while improving the museum's exhibition capabilities by returning underutilized back-of-house spaces to public use. The design comprises nearly 90,000 square feet of renovated or newly created space. Of the latter, William Forum will serve as the venue for a wide range of activities while also connecting the ground floor to the upper levels. The Vaulted Walkway, spanning the entire length of the building, has been refurbished and opened to the public after being closed for nearly 50 years. In addition, several areas housing office spaces and retail operations have been converted into galleries, increasing the museum's exhibition area.

Philly Art Museum unveils new Frank Gehry interior

For decades, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has known it needed more space. Recently, architect Frank Gehry helped them realize they had the space they needed the whole time.
About 90,000 square feet has been carved out of what used to be staff office space and a vaulted corridor running underground for 640 feet, spanning the entire footprint of the museum, unused for nearly 50 years.
This weekend, the museum unveils its “Core Project,” a major renovation project four years in the making. The centerpiece is a forum space with 40-foot-high ceilings with a dramatic switchback staircase connecting the underground lower level to the first floor at the west entrance.
