This year marks the 50th anniversary of Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum, which opened in 1972 in Fort Worth, Texas, and the 25th for Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao, completed in 1997 in Spain.
Part of a development that rehabilitates historic school buildings and adds 492 apartments, the museum seeks to revitalize a long-neglected part of southwest D.C.
