The promised prominence of “study centers,” where patrons can request and view individual pieces, is one of the clearest manifestations of didactic ambition. “They provide close, intimate encounters with our works of art,” Manoogian says of the spaces.The Allston building will also house conservation labs, which Daly compared to a Renaissance studio or Parisian atelier.
