"Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum"

Sparano + Mooney Architecture

This new museum houses a permanent collection as well as a continually rotating exhibit depicting the history of this area of the San Gabriel valley. The program includes a multi-purpose room and archival area, a curatorial office, and both interior and exterior exhibit spaces. Clerestory windows and focused views provide natural light to the galleries. Views of the nearby mountains are incorporated into the exhibit as the historical is juxtaposed with the present. Relationships to the site and existing community center west of the museum are created through geometric and material references to the context.
