The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) has selected Michael Maltzan Architecture, Once-Future Office, and Studio Zewde to lead a comprehensive reinstallation of its galleries. This project, the first significant overhaul of the museum’s presentation since the 1980s, aims to create a chronological journey through art history and enhance the visitor experience across all museum spaces, including the Edward B. Green Building, the SANAA Glass Pavilion, and the Georgia and David K. Welles Sculpture Garden.
The reinstallation will reframe the museum’s narrative to showcase a more accurate and inclusive global history of human creativity, reflecting recent expansions in TMA’s acquisition resources and curatorial team. The project will also incorporate facility upgrades such as improved restrooms and HVAC systems, alongside innovative technological integrations. Community feedback has been integral to the planning process, with extensive outreach conducted over the past year to ensure the redesigned galleries resonate with local audiences.
The design phase is currently in progress, with plans to be shared with the public in 2025. Construction is slated to begin in 2025 and is anticipated to conclude in 2027. Throughout the reinstallation, the museum will remain open to visitors.
