Buffalo AKG Art Museum - Buffalo, NY

The Buffalo AKG Art Museum recently underwent its third expansion, led by OMA and Cooper Robertson. A key challenge was connecting the historic 1905 museum (last expanded in 1962) with the new 30,000-square-foot exhibition space. The solution: a striking pedestrian promenade featuring a soffit detail clad in Swisspearl Largo panels from the REFLEX Series.

This AK360 Campus Development and Expansion Project not only adds space for the museum’s extensive collection and special exhibitions but also enhances the visitor experience with modern amenities, redefining how art is showcased and experienced.
