What Holl has produced, working with his senior partner, Chris McVoy, is something that doesn't merely mimic the classicism of the older museum building but reformulates it in 21st century terms. As Holl puts it, he promised Wilson and the museum's trustees that "the new will be as new as can be, but the old will be preserved." If anything, he amplified the classicism of the space behind the old building by positioning the longest and most conventionally rectangular of his lenses at a perpendicular to the museum's rear façade.

Tracy Riley, 37, of Des Moines, Iowa, who is of mixed race, said the incident was among her four kids' first...
...Timothy and Janet first demonstrated their impressive skills in their ability to mimic a brass-like sound with their violins in the first piece, Mozart’s “Quartet in B-flat Major, K. 458,” producing an incredibly rich and full harmony. This show of mastery over their instruments, however, was only a glimpse of the full range of their capabilities...
