Behind the Scenes: Designing the Transformed AGO
58 minutes
Linda Milrod, Transformation AGO senior project manager and program & installation director, will talk about the extraordinary process of working with Gehry International to transform the AGO. The goals were high - to create an optimum showcase for our collection and realize a transparent building where visitors would have multiple opportunities to connect their art experiences with the city. The results - old and new architecture intersecting in seamless harmony, artworks given new life by the scale of the rooms and breathtaking views over the city.
