MUSCARELLE EXPLORATIONS: SELECTED TOPICS IN ARCHITECTURE

Presenting Art: The Importance of the Vessel

David Brashear, Interim Director, Muscarelle Museum of Art

Art Museums loom large on the cultural landscape, and when new ones are built, they are important opportunities to present the current state of architectural and design thinking. In this lecture, we will explore recently constructed museums in America, including smaller museums on college campuses and larger institutions that serve as flagship centers of civic engagement in urban settings. We will also check in on the current status of our own quest for a new museum at William & Mary.
