Frank Gehry has completed the first phase of a massive renovation of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The old Philadelphia Museum of Art, designed by American architects Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele, opened in March 1928. Today, the museum opens some new elements to the public. As part of the project, the Canadian-American architect is revising some of the museum's historical alterations, including some added in the 1980s by architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. "This moment marks an important milestone in the realization of the museum's facilities master plan, reopening important architectural Spaces that have been hidden from the public for decades," the museum said.。
