Magazzino Italian Art expands with a new building by Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo

The second pavilion reflects the linear architectural structure of the head building. It will be used for exhibitions, events and educational programs.

Magazzino Italian Art, a museum, research center and main promoter of Italian art in the United States, announced the expansion of its headquarters in Cold Spring, New York, thanks to the project of architects Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo (who’s the first building’s author).

The new pavilion will mesure 1200 square meters, it will be adjacent but independent from the main one, and will provide additional space dedicated to exhibitions, events and educational programs. While two galleries on the first floor will be used as an exhibition space, a third one on the lower floor will be used to collect small sculptures, Murano glass and ceramics. There is also a multifunctional room to host film screenings, conferences and talks.

Privileged, according to the design concept, will be the dialogue between art, architecture and the surrounding landscape, thanks to the multitude of windows and skylights, which permeate the environment with natural light.
