In addition to the current museum, when its new museum building opens to the public in 2018, Glenstone will become the largest private museum in America welcoming 100,000 visitors every year free of charge. By thoughtfully integrating the power of art, the energy of architecture and the serenity of landscape, Glenstone is both a distinctive idea and a unique place. Glenstone is proud to foster a professional environment in which people can do interesting, fulfilling and enjoyable work.

This provides all associates an unusually high degree of access and interaction with the spirit and vision of Glenstone.
