The famous art gallery in NYC is finally reopening after years of expansion. The total expansion cost an astonishing $450 million . The museum planned on expanding to increase its size of the cultural institution. MOMA has been closed since June last year. Its opening debut is on October 21, and if you are a member you can go on the 20th for a members only viewing.
The expansion includes a new building with a new wing added seamlessly to the 2004 Taniguchi expansion. The new MOMA is also more physically welcoming and more workable in many ways, whether it's looking at art, taking a lunch break or shopping. The new lobby is designed to be easier to navigate with three sets of elevators. This was in hope to make the check-in process easier and less bogged down.
In the cafe there is more seating. With Generation Z in mind, at every table there is wireless charging and ports so you can always stay charged and ready to go. The food choice has also changed, now they have two choices: the first choice being a rustic italion. The Café 2 menu offers an array of seasonal Italian cuisine, including pastas, cured salumi, artisanal cheeses, panini, salads, soups, and desserts. and the second choice being a modern bar. The bar is best for quick meals and drinks.
