A dynamic array of architectural styles is represented across the Speed Art Museum, from the classically inspired original building to recent additions designed by renowned museum designer Kulapat Yantrasast.
At the center of the new North Addition is the aptly named Grand Hall, which gives access to the Piazza, Atrium, Sculpture Terrace and Café. The Art Bridge links the North Addition to the original 1927 building and the new South Addition, which features the new Cinema and South Courtyard.
