A model of the new building was displayed in the museum's Sculpture Hall throughout the construction project. In 2008, citing the declining state of the economy, the museum announced that it would delay the start of the expansion, whose cost was then estimated at $125 million.<ref>David Itzkoff ( November 6, 2008), [http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/in-tough-times-st-louis-museum-delays-expansion/ In Tough Times, St. Louis Museum Delays Expansion] ''[[New York Times]]''.</ref> Construction began in 2009; the museum remained open.<ref name="theartnewspaper.com">Javier Pes (June 20, 2013), [http://theartnewspaper.com/articles/A-quiet-and-reserved-new-wing-for-Saint-Louis-Art-Museum/29783 A ‘quiet and reserved’ new wing for Saint Louis Art Museum] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130630224202/http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/A-quiet-and-reserved-new-wing-for-Saint-Louis-Art-Museum/29783 \|date=2013-06-30 }} ''[[The Art Newspaper]]''.</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.slam.org/expansion/ \|title=Saint Louis Art Museum: Expansion \|publisher=Slam.org \|date= \|accessdate=2012-10-14}}</ref> The expansion added more than {{convert\|224000\|sqft\|m2}} of gallery space, including an underground garage, within the lease lines of the property. Money for the project was raised through private gifts to the capital campaign from individuals, foundations and corporations, and from proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt bonds.
