New Museum of Contemporary Art (Manhattan, US)
New York Times described it as 'viewing art in a stack of boxes'.
As you climb out of the Prince Street subway station at Broadway in lower Manhattan, New York, a gleaming apparition grabs your attention.
Designed by Japanese architects Kazuo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the firm SANAA, the $50 million, 60,000-square-foot-building is an eight-story stack of shiny, metallic boxes set off-kilter from one another.
The museum contains several levels of galleries, which are designed as high-ceilinged, white-walled spaces, with concrete floors and narrow skylights illuminating one side.
Image: Sandwiched along the Bowery between a hotel and the Bowery Mission, which serves the homeless and the needy, the museum is a glamorous newcomer.
