For decades, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has known it needed more space. Recently, architect Frank Gehry helped them realize they had the space they needed the whole time.
About 90,000 square feet has been carved out of what used to be staff office space and a vaulted corridor running underground for 640 feet, spanning the entire footprint of the museum, unused for nearly 50 years.
This weekend, the museum unveils its “Core Project,” a major renovation project four years in the making. The centerpiece is a forum space with 40-foot-high ceilings with a dramatic switchback staircase connecting the underground lower level to the first floor at the west entrance.

Fig. 1. Covered caudle cup from a service for George Washington designed by Andreas Everardus van Braam Houckgeest (1739–1801), made in China for the American market, 1796. Porcelain with enamel, gilded, and underglaze blue decoration; height 5, width 5 1/8, depth 3 1/4 inches. This is one of more than 450 pieces of tableware owned by the nation’s First Families assembled by Robert L. McNeil Jr. A new interactive digital guide shows how the arrangement of the china on a table created a work of art unto itself, and speaks to the roles of those who maintained and worked with it, as well as of the presidents and first ladies who selected the patterns.
