The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, will open the doors to its striking new building on April 2 during a grand reopening ceremony that’s free to the public from 12–5 pm!
The Bruce Museum’s grand opening is made possible with the generous support of Bank of America, the Lead Partner of the new Bruce.
Designed by the New Orleans-based firm of EskewDumezRipple, the structure features a striated facade of cast stone and glass inspired by the surfaces of Connecticut’s rock quarries. The new addition features the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Education Wing; the contemporary William L. Richter Art Wing, which includes four leading-edge galleries that provide vastly expanded accommodations for changing art exhibitions; and, for the first time, significant space to show the museum’s permanent art collection.
The entire ground floor is free and open to the public during museum hours. It includes a new museum store; an inviting café with indoor/outdoor seating; a state-of-the-art auditorium; and meeting spaces for special event use by local community groups, families, and businesses.
