The expansion design project led by architect Frank Gehry, was an ambitious reimagining of the building's core areas, which brought the project its name. Opening up the heart of the main building and reopening historic entrances allows the museum to expand its existing exhibits and create new space for collections. The north entrance opened in 2019.

Work completed at OLIN.
