The old one, I mean, since the re-shuffling of a couple of weeks ago:
Months before the opening of a new building at the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, the curators have been handed an opportunity to rethink the 131-year-old Providence museum.
The new Chace Center, set to open in September, has freed up 4,000 square feet of space in the museum’s old home, the 1926 Radeke Building that was once used as cramped storage and offices. The space has been transformed into several galleries, a classroom and other public space that opened earlier this month. The centerpiece of the renovation is a sweeping central gallery, which gives visitors a clear 300-foot view through the gallery and across a new glass pedestrian bridge to the new Chace Center.
