American Folk Art Museum and MoMA on West 53rd Street in New York. USA. Before ronovation. The Museum of Modern Art is committed to being the most engaging and welcoming museum in New York, and to bringing art and people together more effectively than ever before. A major new building project will expand MoMA’s public spaces and galleries, allowing the Museum to reconceive the presentation of its collection and exhibitions and offer a more open, accessible, and engaging experience. We have been working with the renowned architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro to develop a plan to integrate the current building with two adjoining sites into which the Museum is expanding: three floors of a residential tower being developed by Hines, and the site of the former American Folk Art Museum. With over 40,000 square feet of new galleries providing 30% more space for experiencing MoMA’s collection and exhibitions, we’ll be able to expand our programming, present recent acquisitions, and bring together works from all mediums in new and unexpected ways. This vision will be fully realized over the coming years, and we will share more information here as our plans develop.
