Bellevue Museum Closes After Moving Into New Building

The Bellevue Art Museum outside Seattle, which opened in a new Stephen Holl-designed building less than three years ago, has closed after failing to attract an audience. “The architectural community gave Stephen Holl’s building a solid thumbs-up, but the visual arts community was considerably less impressed. In essence, the building is full of personality and high style, yet it is a difficult place to display art.”
