From design competition to opening day, the story of PAFA’s iconic building is a story of industrial innovation, artistic excellence, and civic engagement, all inscribed in the stone and paint of America’s first museum building. And now, the large-scale installations in Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America interact with and respond to the architecture in surprising ways. Join Dennis Robinson and Lori Waselchuk for a behind-the-scenes look at how the building that launched America onto the world art stage come together and remains an inspiration for artists and art-lovers almost 150 years later.
