The Met Reveals Plans for New Modern and Contemporary Wing
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (often referred to as the Met) has revealed designs for a new wing dedicated to modern and contemporary art, which will be known as the Tang Wing. This wing, designed by Frida Escobedo, represents a significant milestone as it’s the first time a woman has designed a wing in the museum’s 154-year history. The expansion prioritizes accessibility, sustainability, and seamless integration with its historic location within New York City. With $550 million in private donations already secured, the Tang Wing is scheduled to open in 2030.
