MULTI-YEAR EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT, DESIGNED BY DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO IN COLLABORATION WITH GENSLER

Project Will Increase Gallery Space to Showcase the Museum’s Renowned Collection and Enhance the Visitor Experience

New York, NY, June 1, 2017 —Glenn D. Lowry, Director of The Museum of Modern Art, today revealed the completed renovation of the east end of the Museum’s campus and unveiled the full design of a multi-year expansion project, developed by MoMA with architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler.

The goals for the project are threefold: to increase gallery space and allow the Museum to exhibit significantly more of its diverse collection in deeper and more interdisciplinary ways, to provide visitors with a more welcoming and comfortable experience, and to better connect the Museum to the urban fabric of midtown Manhattan.
