[2019·赣州联考]The Anchorage Museum is expanding to the north with the addition of 25,000 square feet of new gallery space for the museum's art collection and exploration of art of the north.
Construction timeline: February 2016September 2017.
Focus: This expansion is about more than bringing works from the collection out on public view. It's also about creating a wonderful description for the north through the lens (镜头) of art and furthering the museum's mission of expanding awareness of the north, its landscape and cultures.
An expanded museum will：
●Provide greater public access to the museum's art collection
●Create physical space for each kind of the museum's mission — art, history, science, culture
●Tell the story of the north and Alaska through art that represents their landscape and people
●Create positive, engaging and relevant museum experiences
●Help museum visitors understand Alaska and the north through a variety of experiences
●Connect people and encourage global dialogue about the north and its different environment
Project partners: The $24 million expansion is funded entirely by private dollars, including $12 million gifts from both the Rasmuson family and the Rasmuson Foundation.
