We&#8217;re really just so excited to be able to do this,&#8221; Diana Milock said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewTextBlock\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Architectural rendering of the Dennos Museum Center addition\" class=\"AlignImageRight\" height=\"139\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/d14a6ed6c66cc78d0f1e1e339c1bfe14dennos-addition-rendering-5-350-2.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/>The 9,000-square-foot expansion will house two new galleries intended to be named, respectively, the <strong>Gene Jenneman<\/strong> Permanent Collection Gallery and the Diana and Richard Milock Sculpture Gallery.&#160; The former honors the museum&#8217;s founding director. Under Jenneman&#8217;s quarter century of leadership the Dennos has built a strong permanent collection of works, but most sit in storage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewTextBlock\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Architectural rendering of the Dennos Museum Center addition\" class=\"AlignImageRight\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/d14a08fec66cc78d0f1e1e33f3d54fc3dennos-addition-rendering-3-350-2.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/>&#8220;We have wonderful works of art and there just isn&#8217;t room to show them,&#8221; Diana Milock said.<\/p>\n<p>Art lovers and collectors themselves, the Milocks have supported both the Dennos and NMC&#8217;s Great Lakes Culinary Institute for more than a decade. &#160;Diana Milock has a special affinity for sculpture, which will be evident in the expansion. Windows lining one wall of the expansion will connect the new sculpture gallery to existing outdoor sculptures that surround the museum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewTextBlock\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Architectural rendering of the Dennos Museum Center addition\" class=\"AlignImageRight\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/d149d3b2c66cc78d0f1e1e334cabc360dennos-addition-rendering-2-350-2.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/>&#8220;I love outdoor sculpture.
