Text description provided by the architects. Joslyn Art Museum will reopen to the public in September 2024 following an expansion, renovation, and site redesign conceived to reimagine how visitors approach and engage with Nebraska's largest art museum. Central features of the project, designed by Snøhetta in partnership with Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, are: 1- construction of the new 42,000-square-foot Rhonda & Howard Hawks Pavilion, which adds abundant light-filled galleries, community spaces, a new Museum shop, and new main entrance. 2- renovation of existing buildings, which adds classrooms, a refurbished lecture hall and cafe, gathering spaces, and a reconfigured administration wing. 3- reorganization of Joslyn's grounds, featuring more than three acres of rejuvenated public gardens, outdoor spaces, and art installations, and reorientation of the entry sequence to bring visitors into the revamped grounds on axis with the heart of the expansion and the new main entry.
