After a four-year process and two-year closure, the New Museum has finally returned. Designed by OMA / Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas, the $82 million expansion doubles the institution’s exhibition space and creates more room for artist residencies, public programs, and its “cultural incubator,” NEW INC.
It’s certainly bigger, but is it better?
Our editors got together after yesterday’s press preview to share their thoughts on the expansion, the inaugural exhibition, and what the new New Museum holds for the future. To read the conversation, visit our link in bio.
