Text description provided by the architects. Perched atop a slope overlooking Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, New York, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, designed by I.M. Pei in 1973, is a landmark of modern architecture as well as an iconic presence on the campus of Cornell University. On October 15, 2011, the museum unveils a sympathetic expansion and renovation program designed to more comprehensively showcase the museum’s permanent collection, which has grown nearly four-fold since the early ‘70s, and accommodate further growth.
