The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum announced the selection of Renzo Piano and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop to plan and design a new building on the Museum’s property. The structure will meet the physical requirements of a master plan adopted by the Board of Trustees. Balancing careful preservation of the Gardner Museum’s world-renowned collection, the Renzo Piano Workshop will create new spaces that will accommodate exhibitions, programs, visitor services, classes, offices, and greenhouses, and in so doing will reduce the wear and tear of the museum’s existing historic environment.
