Signs on the museum's grounds in Hyde Park reflected the new name, as did its website and account on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter. To celebrate, visitors were granted free admission on Sunday.The museum, famously located within the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition's former Palace of Fine Arts building, said the move aimed to recognize "the largest single gift in the museum’s history.
But they were"building towards a time when the outside of our Museum reflects the progress we've made on the inside" before officially changing their name. As part of their new identity, the museum also revealed a new logo and experiences. Among them, is a new Griffin Studio,"a one-of-a-kind immersive digital gallery" with a premier exhibit dubbed Notes to Neurons,"an exploration of the bond between music and emotions.
Officials previously said a majority of Griffin's donation will be used for"securing the museum’s long-term future" and support plans"to create the Pixel Studio, a state-of-the-art digital gallery and performance space that will be the only experience of its kind in North America."
