The Expanded and Reimagined Museum of Modern Art Opened on October 21, 2019
The Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art opened its expanded campus on October 21, 2019, with a reimagined presentation of modern and contemporary art.
The expansion, developed by MoMA with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Gensler, adds more than 40,000 square feet of gallery spaces and enables the Museum to exhibit significantly more art in new and interdisciplinary ways. The Studio in the heart of the Museum will feature live programming and performances that react to, question, and challenge histories of modern art and the current cultural moment. An innovative second-floor Creativity Lab for education will invite visitors to connect with art that explores new ideas about the present, past, and future. Street-level galleries, free and open to all on the expanded ground floor, will better connect the Museum to New York City and bring art closer to people on the streets of midtown Manhattan.
Downloadable images of artwork that will be on view upon opening can be found here.
