After a nearly two-year expansion and a delayed reopening, the New Museum in New York City will finally welcome the public again on March 21.
With a new 60,000-square-foot annex on Bowery, designed by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture’s partners Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu with Cooper Robertson, the museum’s exhibition space has doubled. Returning art denizens should have more pathways to explore without jamming themselves into the main building’s freight elevator or ascending narrow stairways during pay-what-you-wish late-night Thursday hours.
The new annex features three floors of exhibition spaces, a floor for NEW INC, the museum’s cultural incubator with collaborative working spaces for 120 creative entrepreneurs, a dedicated artist-in-residence studio, a 74-seat forum, and a sky room taking up the top floor.
The museum will offer free admission on March 21 and March 22, and an inaugural exhibition titled “New Humans: Memories of the Future.”
