Florence Griswold Museum
Krieble Gallery
Old Lyme, CT

Florence Griswold Museum The Florence Griswold Museum recently held a grand opening for the Krieble Gallery, 9,500 SF addition encompassing art galleries, visitor services and administrative offices. Built to house the Hartford Steam Boiler collection, the gallery addition’s three-peaked roof system contains skylights that filter the bright sunlight and bathe the artworks in natural light. The entrance to the new gallery overlooks the Lieutenant River, and echoes the pattern of the waves on the coastal estuary.

All areas of the art storage wing and gallery revisions are provided with full air conditioning and humidity control, served by a dedicated air handling system capable of providing year-round climate control for artwork preservation.
