To your right is the building of the New Museum of Contemporary Art.  The very building is striking and surprising in itself.  It is possible that you, like many others, are asking yourself the question, "How do these concrete pieces stay together and not fall?"  Of course explanation is engineering.  The building of the museum was built by the design of the Japanese architectural firm SANAA.  The building is unique not only in its external appearance.  Notice that there are practically no windows. In the evening after sunset inside the great Hall thousands of lamps are lit and it seems that the large building is hung on a pillow of light.The museum was founded in 1977 by Marcia Tucker who had worked as the curator of paintings and sculpture in the Whitney Museum of American Art.The collection of the museum has art works created from the end of the 20th Century to the beginning of the 21st Century.  Every year in the New Museum there are no less than 6 large exhibits and include several personal exhibitions.Here you can find works of Jeff Koons, Ana Mendieta, William Kentridge and Andrea Zittel.Photo The New Museum of Contemporary Art by Jules Antonio is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
