Masp will expand on March 28, adding 11,000 sq. m of space with a new black tower honoring founding director Pietro Maria Bardi. The $43 million project adds five galleries, increases exhibition space by 66%, and introduces facilities like conservation labs, classrooms, and two multipurpose rooms. Originally opened in 1968, the museum's limitations due to growth necessitated this expansion. The original structure, designed by Lina Bo Bardi, is renowned in Modernist architecture and is now complemented by the new tower and connectivity features, enhancing Masp's commitment to art and education while addressing past challenges.
