The Studio Museum in Harlem is set to reopen on November 15, 2025, after seven years of renovation. Its new building, designed by David Adjaye, encompasses 82,000 square feet, marking a significant expansion of over 70%. The space includes a 14,000-square-foot exhibition area, a rooftop terrace, and multi-use spaces for various events. The museum will also feature a Studio Store focused on supporting Black-owned businesses, reinforcing its commitment to art and community engagement. This reopening signifies a vital moment in New York City's cultural landscape.
The iconic institution, long recognized as one of the leading spaces for contemporary art by artists of African descent, will debut its brand-new 82,000-square-foot building.
Despite delays, the result is a bold, ambitious structure that reflects both the museum's legacy and its future.
The design increases the museum's total space by over 70%, now spread across seven floors and offering a mix of indoor and outdoor programming areas.
Other highlights include a rooftop terrace with views of Harlem, flexible multi-use spaces for performances, panels, and workshops.
