ReopeningOctober 29, 2019
The New MoMA
The Museum of Modern Art opened its expanded campus on October 21, 2019, revealing a new presentation of their collection of modern and contemporary art and beyond.
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 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. The second-floor Creativity Lab for education, street-level galleries, is free and open to all on the expanded ground floor, connecting the Museum to New York City.
Additionally, The Museum of Modern Art announced six long-term, site specific contemporary artworks, on view in public spaces to celebrate MoMA’s opening, organized by Yasmil Raymond, former Associate Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, with Tara Keny, Curatorial Assistant, Modern Women's Fund, Department of Drawings and Prints. Featured in the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Lobby, Café 2, the Louise Reinhardt Smith Gallery, the Carroll and Milton Petrie Terrace Café, and the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building, visitors will see new commissions by Kerstin Brätsch (German), Experimental Jetset (Danny van den Dungen, Marieke Stolk, and Erwin Brinkers), Goshka Macuga (Polish), Yoko Ono (Japanese), and Philippe Parreno (French). Moreover, a large-scale work by Haim Steinbach (Israeli and American) acquired on the occasion of the Museum’s reopening will be featured.
