A walk through the Shelburne Museum's new visitor's center now under construction with museum director Thomas Denenberg, and a tour of the grounds (189 photos)

Updated August 19, 2013: Now named the Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education, the new visitor's center opened on August 18.  It was reviewed by The New York Times on August 17, 2013 (possible paywall).


As part of the 2012 New England Museum Association (NEMA) annual conference, there was a tour of the grounds of the Shelburne Museum (Shelburne,  Vermont)—they had just closed for the season—led by the museum's director of education, Karen Petersen. The highlight of the tour was a walk through the new visitor's center now under construction with museum director Thomas Denenberg, followed by remarks from museum trustees and a slide presentation by architect Steven Gerrard of Ann Beha Architects.
