The Albright-Knox in collaboration with its architectural partner, OMA/Shohei Shigematsu, is developing a new work of signature architecture on the north side of the museum’s historic campus, which will add 29,000 square feet of space for displaying special exhibitions and the museum’s world-renowned art collection. The new building will also incorporate several visitor amenities and is envisioned to have a wraparound promenade that visually connects the interior of the building with the surrounding Frederick Law Olmsted landscape.
