”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Palmer Museum of Art’s new 73,000-square-foot building opens to visitors on June 1. The state-of-the-art facility, located within The Arboretum at Penn State, boasts unique design elements that bring the outside in, fostering a sense of connection with the landscape and inspiring visitors to reflect on the relationship between art and nature. Designed by Allied Works, the new building nearly doubles the Palmer’s footprint and includes 20 light-filled galleries, new educational and event spaces, a museum store and café, a sculpture path and outdoor terraces.
“A visit to the new Palmer Museum provides a remarkable opportunity to meander through spaces filled with works of art as though one were strolling through the landscape, experiencing art, architecture and nature as something both intimate and immense,” said Erin M. Coe, the Palmer Museum of Art’s director. “Enhanced accessibility to the museum’s collection and other new amenities, such as educational and event spaces, elevate those experiences further. It is my hope that visitors will not discern a separation between the architecture that contains these spaces and the outside landscape, but rather conceive of both as one.”
The 5-acre landscape designed by Reed Hilderbrand welcomes visitors as they approach the new Palmer. Allied Works’ innovative and versatile design for the museum features a series of interlocking pavilions clad in regional sandstone, interspersed with perforated stainless-steel sunscreens, lofted skylights and windows, providing visitors with framed views of the surrounding landscape as they modulate daylight. The Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Gateway, an overhead bridge, connects the museum’s exhibition wing to the administration/education wing and serves as a gateway to the gardens, meadows and woodlands beyond.”
You can’t put a price on pairing art and nature. $85 MM.
