Glenstone to open the Pavilions art galleries on October 4, 2018

 

Glenstone, a private contemporary art museum in Potomac, Maryland is undergoing a major expansion. The museum has announced that October 4, 2018 will be the opening date of the Pavilions, a new 204,000 square foot art gallery. Click on the above link to reach the website.

The expansion details are included in a recent article that appeared in The Washington Post. Click here to read the article.

 

In September 2006, Glenstone opened its doors to the public, inviting visitors to discover a new kind of museum. Glenstone is located on 200 acres of land just outside Washington, D.C. on a former foxhunting estate. Over the course of twenty years, the property was transformed into an environment where art, architecture, and landscape combine to create a singular and unified experience.

At the heart of Glenstone is its preeminent collection of post-World War II and contemporary art. Rotating exhibitions are presented in a building designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, while monumental outdoor sculpture is presented in a landscape designed by Peter Walker and Partners. These settings exist to exhibit works of art that represent the greatest historical shifts in how art is seen and experienced.

It's wonderful that you have so many cultural opportunities in your vicinity, Roy.  I notice that you shot the picture of the dahlia with a Canon Power Shot G11.  Is that camera one one you currently use?  I'm going to need to buy another camera soon.  I've been looking at the G15.

What marvelous news for your area, Roy.  There are so many things to visit in your part of our nation and an additional 200,000 plus square feet art gallery will be very rewarding. I have only been to Va., Md., Washington DC once in my life.  I remember it well;  it's like a past, current, and future history all-in-One.
