After six years of temporary exhibitions in various locations around New York City, The Climate Museum has found a permanent residence in Hudson Yards on 11th Avenue, due to open in 2029. With over 24,000 square feet, the museum has attracted more than 150,000 visitors to venues like Governors Island and Rockefeller Center. The museum’s exhibits, showcasing artists like Mona Chalabi and David Opdyke, directly address the issue of climate change.
Miranda Massie, the organization’s founder who was previously a social justice attorney, sees this relocation as a means to increase involvement in addressing climate issues. As she explained to Artnet, this permanent location will serve to boost our goal of promoting discussions and actions on climate change.
The architecture firm FXCollaborative, known for designing the Statue of Liberty Museum, plans to create a space that combines sustainability and accessibility as its main features. Situated between Hudson Yards and the Javits Center, this building is intended to serve as a community center promoting climate consciousness. Nevertheless, some critics, including museum consultant András Szántó, have raised concerns about the environmental repercussions of erecting new buildings for an institution emphasizing sustainability. Massie contends that constant temporary moves could incur substantial carbon emissions costs.
For Massie, the museum’s objective surpasses any discussion. The aim is to establish an enduring educational resource about climate change and action within a city that’s already dealing with the immediate impacts of global warming.
Massie prioritizes the museum’s purpose over arguments. What they want is to build a permanent learning space for climate education and activism in a town that’s already experiencing the real consequences of global warming.
