Can a museum embody environmental justice?

Storm King, the celebrated outdoor sculpture collection in upstate New York, is overhauling itself in a bid to improve accessibility and landscape protection

Founded in 1960, Storm King's contemporary sculpture collection graces 500 acres of rolling meadows and forestland in New York's Hudson Valley Where else can you witness a multi-ton modernist masterpiece like Alexander Liberman's Iliad - cherry red steel tubes stacked on to one another, 36ft by 54ft - against green meadows and forests?

The museum's visitation increased sharply during the height of the pandemic, as exploring outdoor art offered a welcome break from fraught indoor contact. But can a museum accommodate increased traffic while also ensuring accessibility - and protection of its prized landscape?
