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....

The two-story angled main entrance on the northwest corner gives a feeling of scale and openness.

A sweeping stairway winds upward through the center of the structure arriving at the third floor outdoor courtyard (COURT of LIGHT) through walls of glass.
