KEENELAND.COM K SUMMER 2016 29 Welcome to 21c Museum Hotel — the Lexington edition. While the 88-room boutique hotel, with its 7,000 square feet of gallery space exhib- iting pieces by artists working in this century, is the talk of the town, it is also a project some, including Wilson himself, never expected to happen. When Wilson and Brown opened the frst 21c in Louisville in 2006, it was originally intended to be the only property — a venue for showcasing the couple's collection and for helping revitalize the city's downtown core (the Louisville property is in a rehabbed former bourbon warehouse.) To say that it was a success is a colossal understatement. Almost overnight, the "cool museum with rooms" garnered international buzz, being featured in publications from the New York Times to the London P.O.
