Hot on the heels of the announcement that Renzo Piano would be designing the Kimbell addition, the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History has unveiled renderings of their new building, designed by Ricardo Legorreta. Click the thumbnails for bigger views of the images.

The new Science Museum will stretch to the south across Burnett-Tandy Drive – the street will be permanently closed and removed by the development. The design reaches all the way to David Schwarz’s Cowgirl Museum, and forms a plaza in front of the two buildings. The Omni Theatre is the only portion of the existing museum to remain, though it will be getting a makeover as part of the development.

Stay tuned to Fort Worthology for further updates on the new Museum of Science and History!
