Vast sums of money spent to design, construct, and maintain museum
additions demand great accountability of museum leaders and design
professionals towards visitors and employees. Museum visitors today
come not only to view works of art, but also to experience museum
architecture itself, resulting in most major cities competing to
build new museum additions or new museum buildings to become world
class tourist destinations. Shedding New Light on Art Museum
Additions presents post-occupancy evaluations of four high-profile
museums and their additions in the United States and helps museum
stakeholders understand their successes, shortcomings, and how
their designs affect both visitors and employees who use them every
day. The book helps decision-makers assess the short-term and
long-term impacts of future proposals for new museum additions and
illuminates the critical importance of investing in employee work
environments, and giving serious consideration to lighting,
wayfinding, accessibility, and the effects of museum fatigue that
arise from the lack of public amenities. Museum leaders, curators,
architects, designers, consultants, patrons of the arts and museum
visitors will find this book to be a useful resource when planning
and evaluating new building additions.
