“The new home of the Racine Art Museum—an institution that focuses on contemporary craftwork—offers an inspiring model to similar organizations across America that need more display space and a welcoming public presence but are unable to fund a grand edifice. Four years ago the museum’s board selected Brininstool + Lynch, a small Chicago firm best known for its’ minimalist houses and art galleries, to create a new $50 million building alongside its old home, a nineteenth-century Italianate farmhouse in a park at the edge of this Southern Wisconsin city.”
