CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Museum of Art is ringing in
the new year with the completion of an eight-year expansion and
renovation.
The museum’s west wing opened to the public this past
week, marking the end of a $350 million project that has transformed the
museum.
The new galleries in the west wing feature statues, sculptures and other works from China, India and
southeast Asia.
The museum just over a year ago opened its new glass-enclosed atrium connecting old and new museum
buildings.
New galleries housing Egyptian, Greek, Roman and African art opened in the summer of 2010.
The
expansion project that began in 2005 is giving the art museum more
gallery space and new room for educational programs and events.
