The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York released the first renderings of its revamped modern and contemporary wing, a $550m project spanning around 126,000 sq. ft and designed by Frida Escobedo, the first female architect to design a wing in the museum’s 154-year history. Construction on the Oscar L. Tang and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing—named in honour of the couple who donated $125m to the project—is expected to kick off in 2026 and be completed in 2030.

“Frida Escobedo’s extraordinarily inspired, deeply thoughtful and dynamic design for the Tang Wing cements her standing as one of today’s most relevant architects,” Max Hollein, the Met’s director and chief executive, said in a statement, adding that her “elegant, contemporary design reflects not only an understanding of architectural history, materiality and artistic expression but also a deep appreciation for the Met’s mission, collection and visitors”.
