The New Museum of Contemporary Art is a mid-sized museum in New York City dedicated to contemporary art and new ideas. Founded in 1977, it is Manhattan’s only dedicated contemporary art museum and is recognized for a curatorial program with a broad, international reach. The institution serves local audiences and a global visitor base through rotating exhibitions, commissions, and related programming, placing it within the broader museum sector as a platform for experimental practice. In March 2026, the museum reopened after a building expansion on the Bowery, a project designed by OMA, expanding its galleries and public spaces. The organization maintains a staff in the mid-range in terms of size and continues to present contemporary art and programming from its New York City base.
