It's a new beginning for the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. A creative renovation and expansion of the historic McKim, Mead and White building has ushered in a new era of accessibility and exploration.
Opening to the public on October 14, 2007, the Museum's most visible changes include modern architectural details that complement the building's historical features and invite the campus and the community to explore the more than 15,000 objects spanning the ancient world through the 21st century.
New architectural elements include the Museum’s new entry pavilion – a dramatic glass and bronze structure housing a glass elevator and “floating” steel staircase – and a new, town-facing building addition, featuring an expansive glass curtain wall behind which the Museum displays its celebrated Assyrian reliefs.
The Bowdoin College Museum of Art reopens to the public on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007, with events beginning at 1 p.m. The public is cordially invited to attend the events and tour the renovated facility.
President Mills, Gov. Baldacci and Mr. Wilson will be joined by:
Museum is open to the public from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Museum staff will conduct tours at 2, 3, and 4 p.m. Activities for children include word games and a scavenger hunt through the Museum.
