The Bellevue Art Museum Site
The other day, the Seattle sun at its best, I visited the construction site of the Bellevue Art Museum designed by Steven Holl..... Miriam Sternberg, Curator of Education, supplied us with hardhats and gave us a special tour after the construction crew had left the building.
It is a great building......you feel it instantly.......
I can't wait to see it completed.
For more information about the Bellevue Art Museum check our earlier arcspace Feature.
Next the Frank Gehry opening....
