The Benton Museum creates the conditions of a museum much larger than itself as a means of revealing the reality of museum curation and experience to students. Learn more about the project here.

The Benton Museum of Art is a vibrant contemporary art and education center for Pomona College and the community of Claremont, California. With openness and accessibility as foundational themes, the design extends the tradition of the Pomona College campus with its courtyards, porticos, organizing arcades and expressive, cast-in-place, concrete construction. The museum offers traditional galleries, educational portals, accessible vaults, oversized courtyards, and flexible community spaces. Read about the design process behind the museum here.

Opening in the fall of 2021, the family-friendly event included hands-on art activities, a ribbon-cutting ceremony, live music, and, of course, the opportunity to tour the new museum. Read about the event here.
