Despite Losing Designer Building, Berkeley Art Museum Still Plans to Make a Big Move

Last November, we reported that the Berkeley Art Museum was another victim of the economic downfall, as their plans to build a new Toyo Ito designed building to move into evaporated due to insufficient funding. But the museum, along with the Pacific Film Archive, sound like they’re going to try to make the best of it (and still escape their current “seismically unsafe” building) with the announcement that they’ve decided to move into a former printing plant, one with landmark status to boot.
