Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: An exterior portion of the Corning Museum of Glass, as seen from Museum Way on a February 2022 afternoon. The unusually-shaped annex seen here, faced in glossy metal panels, was built during the museum's first major expansion, inaugurated in 1980 and designed by Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts. It's an interconnected series of four galleries that surround a space that used to house the museum's Rakow Research Library (which later moved across the street). These galleries, now used as exhibition space for the museum's collection of ancient and antique glass, are elevated high above ground on concrete pillars, the better to avoid a repeat of the 1972 flood that wrought immense damage to the museum as well as the rest of the city. |
