Big visions for the Plains Art Museum: renovation, expansion and opportunities abound

The Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota, is preparing to break ground on a major renovation and expansion of its permanent collection facility, working with architecture firms Olson Kundig and JLG. The project will create an open storage concept design, adding a fourth gallery and allowing public access to the museum's basement collection storage, where over 6,000 artworks are housed. This follows the museum's history of adaptive reuse, having transformed a 1904 International Harvester warehouse into its main building in 1997 and adding the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Center for Creativity in 2012.
