When an institution is housed in an older building that is itself a distinguished work of architecture, there’s a special burden on the owner to maintain that level of excellence. In 2011 The Gardner stepped up to the plate on this issue by commissioning a building from Renzo Piano, one of the leading world architects of our time, a winner of the Pritzker Prize and the designer of such outstanding art museums as the De Menil in Houston and the Beyeler Foundation in Basel. In January 2012 the new wing, which hosts Gift at the Gardner, Cafe G, the music venue Calderwood Hall, a visitor library, and a contemporary art gallery, opened to the public.
