dear designboom reader,
recent news about museums and galleries involves openings and redesigns. in may 2025, MAD architects’ fenix museum of migration is set to welcome the public in rotterdam, the first of its kind dedicated to migration through art. then, in september 2025, the calder gardens will open, a cultural destination designed by herzog & de meuron and dutch landscape designer piet oudolf.
in the UK, lina ghotmeh is set to renovate the western range galleries of the british museum, a pivotal step in the institution’s ongoing masterplan project. coinciding with the 2025 architecture biennale, the fondation cartier pour l’art contemporain gears up to showcase an exhibition by jean nouvel at the fondazione giorgio cini in venice, exploring the evolving architecture of the fondation cartier.
thanks for reading!
