FWMOA Breaks Ground on Expansion

The Fort Wayne Museum of Art held a groundbreaking on August 14 on a 10,000 square foot addition of new gallery space.

The project will reconfigure all of the museum’s space to facilitate better visitor service, greater accessibility and more programming. A new café, museum shop and WiFi-enabled Atrium Lounge will create a new downtown destination, providing an amenable spot for visitors to shop, relax and meet friends.

The new facilities are expected to be open by early 2010. The project will also include a new Learning Center and greatly expanded public art library, with emphasis on K-12 learning.
