Progress on the Perot Museum of Nature and Science...
We had the opportunity to stop by a Media Open House for the under construction Perot Museum of Nature and Science this afternoon. There is great progress being made on the Thom Mayne-designed building, and you’ll have the chance to see things for yourself this weekend.
The photo to the left shows things as they stand right now. Big hole with concrete and steel starting to emerge. In today’s Dallas Morning News, Scott Cantrell talks a bit about the finished project.
News comes from the fundraisers that there is still $50 million needed to fund the project. You’ll have the chance to get inspired and pitch in yourself at this Saturday’s Community Open House. It will be held Saturday, August 28 from 1-3 p.m. at the Museum’s Construction Center, located at 1155 Broom Street. Visitors are invited to view the building model, the schematic renderings of the facility and exhibit halls, and the construction site from the Observation Deck. The model itself is worth a visits…go check it out!
