For years‎,‎ the Cleveland Museum of Art presented three architectural styles‎:‎ the original 1916 neoclassical building‎,‎ subdued modernist galleries from 1958 and 1984‎,‎ and a 1971 striped granite addition by Marcel Breuer‎.‎ In 2001‎,‎ architect Rafael Vinoly was selected to create a plan that would add more gallery space‎,‎ address facilities needs‎,‎ and harmonise the whole‎.‎ This fully illustrated and accessibly written book presents this new architectural masterpiece‎.‎ The scheme creates mini‎-museums within the larger structure‎,‎ united by a soaring glass‎-roofed atrium‎.‎ The two floors of the 1916 building now house ancient‎,‎ African‎,‎ and European and American art from medieval times to the 18th century‎;‎ the east wing‎'‎s focus is the 19th century to the art of today‎;‎ the west wing presents Asian art‎;‎ and a museum of the Americas resides in the north galleries‎.‎
