As reported by worldarchitecturenews.com, the American Friends of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art have announced a $45 million extension to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
The six-level building has been designed by American architect Preston Scott Cohen, who is known for his modernist use of light and geometric forms. Established in 1932, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art has grown to become an international cultural center with an extensive series of yearly exhibitions of Israeli and international art, architecture, and design, as well as permanent and loan collections representing the major movements in international art, Israeli art from the 1920s on, and a selection of 16th to 19th century art.
