The Met's new Modern and Contemporary Art Wing, designed by Frida Escobedo, aims to enhance accessibility and expand display capacity for modern artwork.
Designed to address limitations in accessibility, the five-story wing will add 70,000 square feet of gallery space, increasing total modern art capacity by nearly 50%.
Frida Escobedo's design features a limestone facade with unique latticework inspired by global traditions, allowing natural light to interact beautifully with the space.
The interconnected gallery spaces within the wing optimize the visitor experience, featuring varying ceiling heights to showcase both large installations and intimate artworks.
