“The projected expansion of [Boston’s] Museum of Fine Arts moved forward this week when the Boston Redevelopment Authority unanimously approved the museum’s site plan during a key hearing. The approval gives the museum permission to start work on a plan that will nearly double its size, as well as reestablish entrances on the south… The museum is a year away from breaking ground on the first phase of the expansion, which is expected to be completed by 2009. It will add galleries, new courtyards and — its most architecturally significant feature — a crystal spine running through and over the existing building. A planned $425 million capital campaign will pay for the project.”
