For the past two decades, PAM has stood as two buildings: the Pietro Belluschi Building (which houses the main entrance) and the Mark Building. The new pavilion will connect the pair and open Nov. 20. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">\u201cSo it\u2019ll add a sense of connectivity, literally and figuratively. It will connect art from different periods and connect people to art,\u201d Museum Director Brian Ferriso told OPB. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/27BZNLK3CJGSHH35B4SHX5TGS4.jpg\" alt=\"FILE - Design rendering of the Rothko Pavilion at dusk from Southwest Park Avenue at the Portland Art Museum, provided by PAM, in January 2023. \" class=\"width_full\" style=\"aspect-ratio:576 \/ 324;width:100%\"\/><\/p>\n<p>FILE &#8211; Design rendering of the Rothko Pavilion at dusk from Southwest Park Avenue at the Portland Art Museum, provided by PAM, in January 2023. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__image-by color_dgray f_s_xxs m-none\">Hennebery Eddy Architects and Vinci Hamp Architects \/ Courtesy of Portland Art Museum<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">The end of the museum\u2019s renovation will cap Ferriso\u2019s tenure at PAM.
