Kimbell Art Museum Visitors Preview Renzo Piano's Design for New Building

Come for the proto-cubism and Mayan sea creatures, stay for the Renzo Piano maquette! Such is the range of works now on view at the Kimbell Art Museum, which recently unveiled the final design by Renzo Piano Building Workshop for a major new museum building located to the west of its iconic Louis Kahn-designed home. The Fort Worth institution is offering visitors a glimpse of its future with a detailed scale model of the new building (pictured at right, click for an enlarged version) now on display in the museum lobby.
