What people say

ANA ANDRA
"The next stop is at the New Museum, which stands out for its architecture governed by simplicity, with a concept based on the overlapping of cubes of different sizes, having a strong impact at the urban level. Through the small but significant displacement of the cubes, the building acquires a dynamic character as well as a unique shape, being different from the neighboring constructions. The decision to build the New Museum on the Bowery was an unconventional one, given the area's history as an infamous drug hotspot throughout the 1970s. In recent years, however, the Bowery has enjoyed a period of regeneration, the New Museum, both in terms of the building and the institution it houses, is a symbol of the transformative power that both art and architecture have can have on society."
