SACRAMENTO, CA.- The Crocker Art Museum has
completed construction of a 125,000-square-foot expansion designed by Gwathmey
Siegel & Associates Architects (GSAA). Opening to the public on October 10,
2010, the Teel Family Pavilion will more than triple the Museum’s current size
and enhance its role as a cultural resource for California and the state’s many
visitors. One of GSAA co-founder Charles Gwathmey’s last major public projects,
the Crocker Art Museum expansion complements the 125-year-old Museum’s historic
structures, which include one of the first purpose-built art museum buildings in
the United States. Nearly $92 million has been raised towards the Crocker Art
Museum’s $100 million capital campaign goal.
