I would love to hear from anyone who knows of a successful or striking
museum or cultural space in a building that once housed something
completely unrelated. 

 

For example, the Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA) in Long Beach was
created by the retrofit of a roller-rink. The MOCA's Geffen Contemporary
in Los Angeles is housed in a building which used to be a hardware store
and later, a police car garage. 

 

Surely, there are many others. Which do you think are the best building
"re-imagingings"  out there? 

 

Thanks,
