Museums - A Photo Thread
This thread is dedicated to photos of museum buildings, including art museums as well as history and culture and science and technology museums.
It is an additive thread so feel free to post your own photos or others found on the web! It will probably be appreciated if posts clearly label what and where the museum is. |

The Cincinnati Union Station museums are simply amazing! :yes: As for museums, someone's got to post some photos of the Getty Center in Los Angeles!
Aaron (Glowrock) |
Buckeye Native 001, thanks for the Cincinnati Union Station photos, I wish I had visited it when I was in the city, the closest I came to it was seeing it from a distance from the top of the Carew Tower!
glowrock, I have some Getty Museum photos but they are from 2001 and very poor small quality so I will leave it to someone else with better photos! |
No problem. The interior photo really doesn't do the place justice.
Many fond memories of school trips and whatnot at that building. |

It looks like the Yamasaki museum aged well, but I think the new signage is questionable. :) |

jasoncw, yes the wayfinding signage at the Pacific Science Center is definitely not designed to emulate the 60's style of the main buildings!

Illithid Dude, I have not been to the Getty in 10 years, I forgot how extensive the use of that stone facing is there, my mental picture of the complex is always the gleaming white surfaces instead!

trueviking, the Winnipeg Art Gallery looks mildly similar to the forms of I.M. Pei's National Gallery of Art East Building, pictured earlier.
The Canadian Museum of Human Rights has been designed by Antoine Predock...I have pictures of his ASU Art Museum, which is quite different from this one being built, I will post them soon. |

Quote:
there has long been debate in winnipeg about that...the WAG was designed 5 years before the washington gallery....there is some anecdotal evidence that Pei was aware for the building before he designed his. most people in winnipeg assume that ours was inspired by the washington gallery but it is actually likely the other way around. |

Kurtman, the New York State Museum looks like a classic of its era, but I was surpised to learn it was opened in 1976, about 10 years after I would have guessed! It appears to be at the end of a grand axis in the city, is it admired or loathed?

In my opinion it is much more important that a museum spend more money in its collection than for an expensive building. Visitors pay for the objects, which are in the museum and not for viewing the building!
It is very important that a museum building is very stable and safe of flooding in order to protect well the objects in it. Sometimes a museum was erected at a historical site in a building, which has a more or less content with the presented objects. Here two examples of Germany: Historisch-Technisches Informationszentrum Peenemünde, situated in and around former Peenemünde Power Station http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nemuende_2.jpg Sendermuseum Königs Wusterhausen, situated in former transmitter building of Königs Wusterhausen transmitter http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/8817322.jpg ( http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8817322 ) |
Alpha, yes I like when museums inhabit historic buildings that originally had a purpose similar to the theme of the museum objects presented. However, I like really expensive purpose-built museums where the architecture is an attraction as well!
