Cleveland Museum of Art re-opens its original building on Sunday

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Some familiar friends are waiting for you to see them again Sunday at University Circle. They are hanging on the walls of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Art that was stored away three years ago when the museum's expansion and renovation project began has been re-installed in the original 1916 building. It's the first part of the museum complex ready to re-open to the public.

WKSU's Vivian Goodman reports:

Nine hundred works of art are back on view in the 19 upper floor galleries of the Cleveland Museum of Art's 1916 Hubbell and Benes building.
l. to r. Mary Suzor, director of Collections Management; Cindy Fink, director of Marketing and Communication; and Timothy Rub, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art
Mary Suzor, director of Collections Management , details the restorations and re-framings that have been done to get art ready for the re-opening. Tapestries were restored in Belgium and furniture was reupholstered in Paris.
Oak floors in a herringbone pattern now grace the galleries.
Jeffrey Strean, director of Design and Architecture, says the best aspects of the 1916 building have been preserved.
The 1916 Hubbell and Benes building had never had a complete refurbishing before the current project.
The Armor Court is virtually unchanged from the way its art was displayed in 1916.
Skylights in the 1916 building have been restored and in some cases replaced. The skylight for the gallery that used to be the Garden Court was modelled after one in Buckingham Palace.
