"the exterior puts new energy into the old buildings and the interior provides the quietness of space that an art gallery needs"
This addition to the 1979 museum is "very economical with its gestures and means." Jurors praised the interior for its nice sense of space and good relationship with the outside. They particularly admired the floating display partitions that free up wall space for windows but allow viewers to focus on the art. The handsome exterior composition terminates with a glass portico that extends out of the masonry block and creates a sheltered outdoor space.
