DeCordova Museum
Master Plan + New Entry | Lincoln, Massachusetts
DeCordova, home of a nationally known art museum and museum school, displays contemporary sculpture over 35 acres of open space, attracting museum visitors, naturalists and picnickers alike.
In a series of bold and subtle strokes, Halvorson transformed this popular, yet problematic, landscape into an elegant, safe setting for outdoor art. Arriving on a re-aligned main drive, visitors are now gracefully oriented to the grounds and museum building before they reach the parking lot. Equally important, once-dangerous pedestrian-vehicular traffic conflicts have been eliminated so that cars now have minimal impact on the visitor experience.
