The Buffalo AKG Art Museum has buildings by Edward Brodhead Green, the original building, Gordon Bunshaft, in 1962, and Shohei Shigematsu, in 2023. The infobox also lists Augustus Saint-Gaudens, whom the text does not mention. The Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, funded by John J. Albright, was the client. Funding began in January 1900, and the museum opened on May 31, 1905 after delays, matching the infobox.
The article names no style. The circular Gundlach Building is glass and adds over 50,000 square feet (4,650 square meters). The installation Common Sky uses glass and mirrors, and the Cornelia mosaic is about 30 feet (9 m) tall.
Shigematsu was selected in 2016, Jeffrey Gundlach pledged 42.5 million dollars and the museum was renamed Buffalo AKG and reopened in spring 2023. Hours are Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday to Monday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
