Architectural Record marks the opening of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art expansion with a feature by Matt Hickman on the project’s evolution and the long collaboration between Moshe Safdie, Alice Walton, and the museum.

The article traces the expansion as a continuation of Safdie Architects’ original 2011 design, highlighting the 114,000-square-foot addition’s new galleries, education spaces, public gathering areas, and renewed connection to the surrounding Ozark landscape. Read the full article HERE.

“Crystal Bridges already had an ethereal quality to it. The expansion enhances this while introducing new ideas and forms and improvement on what had been done before.”
