Project in Profile: Anchorage Museum Expansion

Just thought I'd go out this morning to take some pics of the new Anchorage Museum as it nears completion, with just finishing touches left until it opens later this year. From the time the museum staff were seeking architects for a proposal, to the ribbon cutting ceremony not long from now, it will have been about seven years in the making for this project to be complete. At least for me, this project felt like an eternity, but maybe I was just overly anxious for this one. By the way, you might have noticed that the signboard advertising the new museum expansion features the original design, which of course looks nothing like what actually got built. I wouldn't be surprised if museum staff did not notice this.
