| 释义 |
The Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum is a museum proposed for North Adams, Massachusetts that plans to display model trains running through a landscape of notable modern architecture. Architect Frank Gehry has contracted to design the new museum, which will be located a few blocks away from the MASS MoCA modern art museum. Thomas Krens, former director of the Guggenheim Museum who oversaw the creation of the Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and a Mass MoCA founder, is heading the creation of the new museum.[1][2][3] The plan calls for an 83,000-square-foot museum to be built at an estimated cost to $65 million, featuring model trains running continuously past scale-models of buildings by notable architects including Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Frank Gehry.[4] It will be built on publicly-owned land overlooking a disused rail freight yard; the proposed Museum holds an option to purchase the land.[1] About half of the financing is projected to come from state and local government funds allocated to support the growth of tourism, and half from private donations of which $2.5 million had been raised by August 2017.[1] The projected opening date is 2020.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Shanks|first1=Adam|title=Famed architect Frank Gehry to design Extreme Model Railroad and Contemporary Architecture Museum|url=http://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/north-adamsfamed-architect-joins-rr-museum-project,517959|accessdate=10 September 2017|publisher=Berkshire Eagle|date=29 August 2017}} {{Location|42.6974|-73.1142|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Chow|first1=Andrew|title=Frank Gehry to Design Museum for Architectural Gems (and Model Trains)|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/03/arts/frank-gehry-architecture-museum-north-adams-massachusetts.html|accessdate=10 September 2017|publisher=New York Times|date=3 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Daniels |first1=Tammy |title=Krens Railroad Museum Going for Main Street Impact |url=https://www.iberkshires.com/story/59353/Krens-Railroad-Museum-Going-for-Main-Street-Impact.html |accessdate=4 March 2019 |publisher=iBerkshires |date=20 February 2019}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Gay|first1=Malcolm|title=Architect Frank Gehry to design proposed museum|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/09/01/architect-frank-gehry-design-proposed-museum/XdsglJe8xNv9bSBcHKWrCO/story.html|accessdate=10 September 2017|publisher=Boston Globe|date=1 September 2017}} 8 : Planned new art museums and galleries|Railroad museums in Massachusetts|Buildings and structures in North Adams, Massachusetts|Contemporary art galleries in the United States|Museums in Berkshire County, Massachusetts|Art museums in Massachusetts|Modernist architecture in Massachusetts|Architecture museums in the United States |
