New work Kevin, I was at the Museum this Thursday morning with a delivery and got a partial walkthrough mostly of the Fort Worth section. It’s very impressive and well done. Historicaly it is also very good. I’m going back very soon to see the whole thing.

Great work, Kevin. After reading this, going there is a must, especially the new planetarium. The colors of the new building are vividly displayed in your photos. Props!

Nice work, Kevin! I loved the exploration of the architectural themes in the Cultural District you alluded to. Looks like another great place for folks to go in this great city.

On a related note, it’s interesting to me how frequently the Kimbell vault theme comes up – the local AIA chapter (on 7th now) has an element that looks very much like the vaults. It’s nice to see some homages to the Kahn building.

Great write-up! The black and white photo from the inside of the lantern is incredible- I thought it was a computer rendering of something(???) until I figured out what it was. I have many fond memories of museum school from when I was a kid, and I can’t wait to go see the new place.

[In related news I was dismayed to see that a "lantern" (that's what they are actually calling it) is part of the design of the new George HW Bush presidential library in Dallas. Can't they come up with anything original east of 360? Maybe it's the same designer, but I doubt it.]

Thanks Kevin! I can’t wait to go see the exhibit on the streetcar system when I am home over Thanksgiving.
