Glenstone is reopened, with two new shows to make sense of America – The Washington Post

The Pavilions at Glenstone, the private art museum in Potomac, Maryland, is open again after an 18-month closure. The Thomas Phifer-designed building, the museum’s architectural centerpiece, appears from above as a cluster of giant cinder blocks surrounding a tropical-looking water court and set into a hill. Problems with the construction of the roofs and windows had become apparent soon after the museum’s public launch in 2018, according to the museum’s co-founder, Emily Wei Rales, in an interview. But the fix is complete, and Glenstone — surely one of the world’s most congenial places to see contemporary art — is again fully accessible.
