As we know the gift is the largest given to the museum by an artist and is the second largest from individual, officially it will be fund the Taylor Swift Education Center as an exhibit and classroom space scheduled to open in 2014.
This is what Museum director Kyle Young said "In terms of what it will allow us to do, we do education very well now, It will allow us to do what we do better, serve more people, develop new programs and I'm happy to say that as we talked through this opportunity with Taylor, she very much wants to be involved in an advisory capacity in what we do. Is there a better person out there who's in touch with a young audience? I think not. I was joking we should be paying her to do that. I was only joking." I think that Mr Kyle saying the truth who else out there that will paying more attention to this young kids, a good education will develop more on the country music as well they will appreciate more too.
The cool part is a new education center is part of the museum's $75 million "Working on a Building" expansion project that will increase the space more than 200,000 square feet to 350,000. The expansion is part of the new convention center project in downtown Nashville and will include a new concert theater, more room for exhibits and archives, and a shared entrance with a new hotel.
Swift's education center will have its own exterior entrance and is 7,500 square feet-plus spread over two stories. It will include three classrooms and exhibit space and will allow the museum to add to its youth education programs. The new space will house interactive activities such as a musical petting zoo and a "wet" classroom space to make concert posters and other art projects. The expansion also would allow the museum to start new programs and workshops and for teens and senior citizens as well as continuing workshops.
such talented and smart women.
Now i know that she actually has a long history with the museum. One of her first public performances was on the building's plaza. She signed her record contract there. And she has donated her time to the museum's "All For The Hall" fundraisers.
Director Kyle Young said, " For Taylor to want to engage herself in the life of this place in such an appropriate way... every way you slice it and dice it, it's great for this place,"
