On September 10, The Joslyn will open as a restored, expanded, and transformed institution, inside and out. Designed in collaboration with Snøhetta and Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, the new 42,000-square-foot Rhonda & Howard Hawks Pavilion is the centerpiece of a project that creates a new visitor experience of the Museum and its grounds. Join us for a lively conversation among Snøhetta design team members, moderated by The Joslyn’s executive director and CEO Jack Becker, that will illuminate a years-long design process and highlight some significant feats and finer details of the buildings and landscape to take in when visiting.
