Founded in 1977, the New Museum is the premier contemporary art museum in
New York City. Three galleries and a mezzanine level showcase innovative art that you won't see in other museums. The New Museum is the only place where the art is truly global, presenting an astonishing range of installations, videos, paintings, and sculptures from around the world. The Education Department organizes compelling panel discussions, film and video series, and lectures to introduce challenging new concepts to a broad public.
