The addition, designed by the architecture firm OMA, sits alongside the museum’s original Bowery building and adds roughly 60,000 square feet of new space. For visitors, that means more galleries, more room for artists-in-residence, new public gathering areas and a museum that feels less like a single building and more like a creative campus.

View this post on InstagramArchitecturally, the building stands out even in a city full of statement structures. Designed by Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas of OMA, the metallic, glass-cut facade gives the New Museum the rare distinction of being shaped by two Pritzker Prize–winning architectural teams, when paired with its original SANAA-designed building from 2007. Inside, several floors now flow directly between old and new, including an expanded bookstore.
The reopening also marks the final milestone of director Lisa Phillips’s 27-year tenure before her retirement this spring, making the moment feel both celebratory and transitional.
After years of delays, rising costs and pandemic-era pauses, the museum’s return feels earned. To mark the occasion, the New Museum will offer free admission opening weekend, March 21 and 22, with ticket registration opening in February.
