History

Guess co-founders Maurice and Paul Marciano established the foundation. In 2013, it acquired the former temple, which architect Kulapat Yantrasast converted into exhibition space. The inaugural exhibition, “Unpacking: The Marciano Art Foundation,” was organized by guest curator Philipp Kaiser. After workers tried to unionize, the museum closed; the foundation later announced a permanent closure. It eventually reopened to the public.

  1. 2013The foundation paid $8 million for the former Scottish Rite Masonic temple.
