The museum will be located at 201 W. Main near the El Paso Art Museum in Downtown El Paso.
Snøhetta’s Elaine Molinar, a native El Pasoan and partner/managing director/architect, and Nick Anderson, director, and senior architect, presented an overview of the unique, four-story, cloud-like 70,000 square-foot museum. The base is wrapped in glass, providing enticing interior views. The building is topped by a rippling succession of barrel vaults that soar to a cloud-like crown, like the clouds that hover over the El Paso borderland.
