The new group of buildings of – 255,000 square-foot (23,690 square-meter) – will rise along the Mississippi river and will have a tight relationship with the water, thanks also to the belvedere bridge arriving just upon the river. The current seat, built in 1963 in another area, will leave place to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
The realisation of the new Guthrie, that will start at the beginning of the Autumn 2002 will be finished within the 2005, and will cost 125 millions of dollars coming from a public and private financing, - 75 millions from private donations, 38 from the State of Minnesota and the last 12 millions from the Museum-. The local partner of Nouvel will be the Minneapolis based studio Architectural Alliance, leaded by Tom De Angelo.
