There was only one
problemwith theMed-
iterranean-style Mu-
seum of Fine Arts,
founded in 1965 by
Margaret
Acheson
Stuart: It wasn’t big
enough. For years,
this elegant museum
could display only 10
percent of its extensive collection, which is
a shame, considering that it includes such
masterpieces asClaudeMonet’s
TheHouses
of Parliament (Effect of Fog)
and Georgia
O’Keeffe’s
Poppy
, not to mention an en-
thrallingassemblageofGreek,Roman, and
pre-Columbian antiquities.Weymouth and
crew came to the rescue in this instance by
creating an addition that melds the past
with thepresent and age-old sophistication
with futuristic beauty. The resultingHazel
HoughWing, fashioned tomimic theorigi-
nal villa, adds39,000 square feet (doubling
the museum’s footprint), ensuring there’s
enough space to display every work in the
museum’s collection. In connecting the
two portions of the structure, Weymouth
employed a touch of the contemporary: a
two-story glass conservatory that serves as
an indoor town square meant to be filled
with lingering people. Light-filled, it faces
thewaterfront andbrings themuseum into
the twenty-first century architecturally and
spatially while providing easy access to a
café, an event space, both permanent gal-
leries, and traveling exhibitions.
