Art lovers can soon see the latest addition to the Chazen Museum of Art on the UW-Madison campus. Donors funded the $43 million building, which officially opened Thursday. The building includes a 160 seat auditorium and more than doubles the current exhibition space. New galleries feature African, Asian and modern art.
“What a benefit to the community and the university to have a collection as rich as this and it?s the building that made it possible,” said Russell Panczenko, director of the Chazen Museum of Art.
