CULTURE AND SOCIETY

New Museum Of Contemporary Art

This museum of modern art, founded in 1977 by the art critic Marcia Tucker, is dedicated in particular to those artists who use new technologies by proposing provocative and controversial works.
In 2007, the museum moved to its current location, designed by Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA, and built with a particular style that resembles a series of irregularly placed boxes placed one above the other. There are galleries and spaces for temporary events as well as a research center that includes a library and computers connected to the New Museum Digital Archive, also accessible from the website, which includes 7,500 sources of written and visual material from 4,000 artists, curators and organizations.
