THE EXPANDED AND

         REIMAGINED MUSEUM OF

         MODERN ART NEW YORK
         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.
