But It’ll Be Real Pretty When It’s Done!

“The Denver Art Museum’s new wing is like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle strewn on a table, waiting to be assembled. Some of the pieces: It’s still unknown how much the 146,000-square-foot wing will cost, though money in hand would suggest a price of at least $70 million. Museum officials won’t say how much they have raised (or want to raise) in a capital campaign to augment bond money approved by Denver voters in 1999. There isn’t a precise start date for construction, other than late June or early July. The opening date – first 2004, then 2005 – now hovers in 2006.”
