Inside the Jewish Museum’s $14.5m renovation in New York City
The Jewish Museum in New York City reopened its third and fourth floors on October 24 after a $14.5 million renovation led by United Network Studio and New Affiliates Architecture. The redesigned 20,000-square-foot space features thematic galleries displaying centuries-old artifacts alongside works by Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and contemporary artists, as well as a new Robert and Tracey Pruzan Center for Learning with art studios and a children's archaeological dig. A highlight is the display of 139 Hanukkah lamps from the museum's collection, arranged geographically in a 50-foot vitrine.
