Designed by American architectural firmMorphosis, the 53,000-square-foot museum opened to the public in October 2022.
In true Southern California form, the building’s architecture has a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor space.
Large windows that break up the terracotta facade allow streams of light to pour into the interior.
There are also smaller, more intimate galleries, that connect to the mezzanine via a sky bridge.
The project is a triumph for the OCMA, which was founded in 1984.
A call for designs was first put out in 2015, and construction began in 2019.
The new Orange County Museum of Art designed by Morphosis opened to the public in October 2022.
The facade is clad in white terracotta tiles punctuated by large windows.
