Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas has revealed its comprehensive grounds redesign by Snøhetta; unveiling a striking public realm of mushroom-shaped canopies, shaded walkways and green gardens, which revitalise the American institution's outdoor space.
The campus is approximately 200,000 sq ft and contains two buildings plus artist Ellsworth Kelly’s Austin chapel. Its outdoor area has now been rethought, including the first-ever major public mural commission by Cuban-American artist Carmen Herrera, which was completed in 2020, two years for before her death aged 106.
