| Tacoma Art Museum open a new facility twice the size of its previous home in May 2003, allowing the museum to expand on its vision and mission. The Antoine Predock-designed building, located in the heart of Tacoma's Cultural District, features flexible exhibition space in a series of galleries that wrap around an open-air interior stone garden. The galleries showcase Tacoma Art Museum's permanent collection; American, European and Asian art; and traveling national and international exhibitions. The interior reflects the museum's spirit, from the emphasis on education spaces that are designed to make art accessible to the framed views of Mt. Rainier. The museum's mission is to connect people through art. Tacoma Art Museum serves the diverse communities of the Northwest through its collection, exhibitions and learning programs, emphasizing art and artists from the Northwest. |
