The Gregg Museum of Art & Design will hold a groundbreaking ceremony today at 3 p.m. at its new location, the Historic Chancellor’s Residence at 1903 Hillsborough Street. Before the new location of the museum is fully complete, the museum will add an addition. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2016, and the first shows will open by early 2017. When construction ends, offices will need to be set up and the museum’s collection will have to be moved into the new building. The museum will have four exhibitions when it opens, one of which will feature the permanent collection. The museum will be free and open to the public.
