As the largest museum building project on the eastern seaboard of the United States in recent times, the new Art of the Americas wing at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts provides an imposing home and rich context for the stars of its American holdings. Ten years in the planning and designed by Foster Partners, it is inserted into the space between the wings of the original building which respectively house European and Ancient collections. Its external impact is relatively minimal – in fact rather low-key and corporate; however, when approached from the heart of the Museum, a sense of occasion, even drama is created.
