Yesterday's New York Times ran an interesting piece on the Grand Rapids Art Museum which is going to become the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) art museum in the world. Kudos to GRAM and Peter Wege who donated $20 million to the project. The architects on the project are Workshop Hakomori Yantrasast (wHY). The museum is scheduled to open in October.

$20 million, that is a whopper sized donation. I wish more people felt like giving away their money to other struggling museums.
