新路易斯·阿姆斯特朗中心由Caples Jefferson Architects设计,是一个集合教育、娱乐与研究的场所。它不仅是与阿姆斯特朗相关的6万件收藏(全世界体量最大的爵士音乐家收藏)的永久存放地,同时还是一个用于举办表演、讲座、电影放映、社区活动以及教学活动的多功能场馆。该中心还呈现由多媒体艺术家Jason Moran策划的展览,探讨阿姆斯特朗在其50年职业生涯中所扮演的不同角色:创新的音乐家、严谨的档案管理者、无可挑剔的合作者以及社区的塑造者。
Designed by Caples Jefferson Architects, the new Center is a place for education, entertainment, and research. It is the permanent home for the 60,000-piece Louis Armstrong Archive (the world’s largest for any jazz musician) and a 75-seat venue for performances, lectures, films, community events and educational experiences. The Center also features Here to Stay, an exhibition curated by multimedia artist Jason Moran, which explores Armstrong’s five-decade career as an innovative musician, rigorous archivist, consummate collaborator and community builder.
