Building of the Day: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Condé M. Nast Galleries

The Condé M. Nast Galleries at The Metropolitan Museum of Art are designed to accommodate diverse rotating exhibitions, in particular The Costume Institute’s annual spring show—one of the Museum’s most visited presentations. The enclosing walls of the galleries conceal what were previously the exterior facades of historic Met buildings from the 1880s and 1890s, a unique condition that exposes and celebrates layers of the Museum’s architectural history while establishing a distinctly contemporary gallery environment.

Architects: Peterson Rich Office, Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners
