new whitney ready to take on moma 38377

The Whitney Museum of American Art is preparing to move into a new Renzo Piano-designed building in New York's Meatpacking District, set to open to the public about a year from now. The new downtown location is vastly larger than its current Marcel Breuer building on Madison Avenue, with 50,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space—a 33 percent increase—and a total of 220,000 square feet, nearly triple the size of the old space. The museum's best attendance year was 372,000 visitors in 2009-10, far below MoMA's 3.22 million that same year, but the new building's proximity to the High Line and tourist-heavy neighborhood is expected to dramatically boost visitor numbers.
