Let There Be Light : Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Reopens After $105 Million Selldorf Renovation
The museum, which reopened on April 9 after a four-year closure and a $105-million renovation, is finally equipped to showcase its history. “If folks came down to see the special exhibition of Jack Whitten, that’s what they would see,” explained MCASD director Kathryn Kanjo, referring to a Whitten show the museum staged in 2014. Alternatively, if the museum installed highlights from its collection, which it began building in the 1960s, it couldn’t stage a special exhibition.
