New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

MoMA's midtown location underwent extensive renovations in the early 2000s, reopening to the public in a building redesigned by the Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, in 2004.

The renovation project nearly doubled the space for MoMA's exhibitions and programs and features 59,000m² of new and redesigned space.

The Peggy and David Rockefeller Building on the western portion of the site houses the main exhibition galleries, and The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building on the eastern portion provides over five times more space for classrooms, auditoriums, teacher training workshops, and the museum's expanded Library and Archives. These two buildings frame the enlarged Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden.

Visitors enter through exteriors of glass, granite, and aluminum as the expanded lobby spans a city block. Above it, the second floor rises in a soaring atrium, whilst glass walls enclose galleries on the fourth floor. From one of the bridges crossing the atrium, visitors can look down on Monet's Water Lilies on the far wall and the lobby below it, with the top floor housing the temporary exhibitions.
