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.
