New Museum

The New Museum is the only museum in New York City exclusively devoted to contemporary art.
Founded in 1977, the New Museum was conceived as a center for exhibitions, information, and
documentation about living artists from around the world. From its beginnings as a one-room office on
Hudson Street to the inauguration of its first freestanding, dedicated building on the Bowery designed by
SANAA in 2007, the New Museum continues to be a place of ongoing experimentation and a hub of new
art and new ideas.
