The newest addition to Tacoma Art Museum, the Benaroya Wing balances opacity and transparency to provide optimal viewing conditions for more than 350 works of glass art, paintings and sculpture from the Benaroya Collection. The addition strengthens the visual connection between TAM and the city, activating the museum’s north end and offering visitors a new platform to observe the urban context.
