Date photograph taken: 01 September 2000
Date built: 1931
Architect: Dunbar Smith and C.C. Brewer

The second, and most memorable, of three extensions done by the architects for the museum. A symmetric wing to this was planned but never built.

The pond out front was added later. It was removed as part of the development of the inner courtyard in 2002-2004 by John Miller and Partners.

The three 17th century Chinese porcelain vases seen in the window were knocked onto the floor by a visitor and smashed into hundreds of pieces in January 2006. They were restored and re-installed in a nearby glass case in November 2007.
