Buoyed by some of the largest donations in the city's history, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston revealed a $450 million project Tuesday that envisions its campus as the cultural heart of the city, reports Chron.
The plan includes two new buildings designed to complement the existing structures in a way that will enhance the experience of looking at art.
The project, by Steven Holt Architects, is the most exciting in the institution's 90-year history, board chairman Richard Kinder said.
