Installation of American Indian casework has begun in the new gallery spaces. The cases, conceived by the Museum’s Design Department, are being fabricated in Milan, Italy, by the world-renowned firm of Laboratorio Museotecnico Goppion, and are being installed on site by Italian crews from that firm.
Goppion fabricators and installers also did the African and Contemporary Ceramics casework in the new Bloch Building. In the photo, only the steel backs and sides of the cases can be seen. Interiors and glass work comprise later stages.
