The new addition to the Booth Museum is starting to take shape! Construction that began in 2007 is continuing on into the New Year in hopes of a completion in early 2009.
Framework for the new addition has been constructed and work continues to move quickly towards the finished product.
The two-story addition to the Museum will house four to five new galleries as well as provide space for events such as conferences, lectures and meetings.
“The first purpose of the addition is it would provide more gallery space, and it would allow us to expand our existing collection,” said executive director Seth Hopkins. “The addition also will serve as a multi-purpose space to do events. We get a lot of people calling us about hosting civic club meetings or corporate functions, but we are not set up for it.”
That will soon change, as the new wing gets closer to completion and more space is provided. Continue to check back for more details on the progress of the Booth’s exciting expansion!
As the Booth construction continues, Georgia Museums is also excited about the continuing progress of Tellus: NorthWest Georgia Science Museum! For progress reports and more information on what is going on at Tellus, click HERE.
