The North Carolina Museum of Art – one of the most important and distinguished museums in the South—has completed a major, three-year expansion and reopens to the public on April 24, 2010. The expansion dramatically transforms the visitor experience of the Museum, which, sited in a 164-acre park in Raleigh, offers a unique blend of art, architecture, and nature.

The centerpiece of the expansion is a new 127,000-square-foot, lightfilled building designed by New York-based architects Thomas Phifer and Partners. The single-story structure, surrounded by gardens and courtyards, showcases the Museum’s encyclopedic collection, including dozens of new and recent acquisitions.
