What does the reopening of the New Museum in New York bring after two years of work

The New Museum in New York, the only museum in Manhattan dedicated exclusively to contemporary art, reopens its doors on Saturday, after a two-year closure for expansion work that cost 82 million dollars. Located in the Bowery neighborhood, the museum has now doubled its space, adding a new building of wood and glass, designed by architects Shohei Shigematsu and Rem Koolhaas. The new wing, with an area of 5,500 square meters, includes exhibition spaces, an amphitheater, a rooftop terrace, and a restaurant. The reopening is marked by the exhibition 'New Humans: Memories of the Future,' which brings together over 200 participants from various fields and explores artistic visions of the future of humanity. The museum, without a permanent collection, has established itself as a space for emerging artists in the New York cultural landscape. Lisa Phillips, the museum's director, emphasizes the institution's commitment to innovation and collaboration.
