WATERVILLE (AP) — Colby College has set the opening date for a new pavilion at its art museum.
The Waterville college says the July 13, 2013, opening of the 26,000-square-foot Alfond- Lunder Family Pavilion will make the Colby College Museum of Art the largest art museum in Maine. The $15 million pavilion creates a light-filled gateway to the existing museum and provides an additional 10,000 square feet of exhibition space.
The inaugural exhibitions at the expanded museum will focus on a collection donated by Peter and Paula Lunder, valued at more than $100 million and including works from renowned American artists such as Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keeffe, among others.
