29-10-07 //EXTENSION OF CHELTENHAM ART GALLERY AND MUSEUM

The main part of the Extension of Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum will be the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery as a closed, but perforated box on the second floor and will be accessible through a six metre tall escalator from the ground floor. In that way the new Temporary Exhibitions Gallery will be connected directly to the majority of the galleries of the existing building and the 1989 extension. A continuous gallery landscape will be created on one floor.
