‘We want people to get lost!’ Princeton’s new museum survives scandal to deliver a mazey art ambush
Architect David Adjaye’s first major project since facing scandal is a bold new museum for Princeton University. The museum, resembling a cluster of serrated concrete bunkers, contrasts starkly with the university’s gothic architecture. Despite its austere exterior, it serves as a fitting repository for the university’s impressive 117,000-piece art and antiquities collection. The collection, previously scattered across various extensions, now has a dedicated space in this purpose-built structure.
