The New Museum is Manhattan's only museum dedicated exclusively to contemporary art and emerging artists. Its futuristic architecture, a stack of offset white cubes designed by SANAA, has become a Lower East Side landmark. Exhibitions, always bold and provocative, feature artists from around the world pushing the boundaries of art. The top-floor terrace offers a panoramic neighborhood view. Small but impactful.
