Shortly before its scheduled opening in 2005, the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art was all but destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The museum has finally begun the long-overdue rebuilding process, starting with the Frank Gehry-designed George Ohr Gallery pavilion. The pavilion's exterior was recently erected and popularly nicknamed the Ohr Pods. On completion, the aluminum shells—to be coated with brushed stainless steel—will be the first Gehry-designed museum in the Southeast. The pavilion will house four galleries filled with George Ohr pottery.
