Despite its rich history, inspiring facilities, and consistent growth, the McNay continues to face challenges to meet the needs of its visitors and to accommodate its expanding collections. The pace of its growth over the decades has led the museum to implement a rapid succession of small discreet additions to the original house, and even with the addition of the Stieren Center, key opportunities remain underexploited and gaps remain in telling the story of the relationship between the original house and the transformation into a modern museum. The fragmented nature of its expansion over the years has also resulted in a host of challenges to the McNay's site and infrastructure with respect to art movement and visitor experience.
