| dc.description | The central block, frontal view looking south, showing the east end; Designed by Yoshio Taniguchi, the Museum reopened in midtown Manhattan on November 20, 2004, to coincide with MoMA's seventy-fifth anniversary. The 630,000-square-foot Museum is nearly twice the size of the former facility. Upon its completion in November 2006, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building will mark the culmination of the Taniguchi project. Taniguchi reintroduces The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden as the heart of the Museum by preserving Philip Johnson's original 1953 design. The architect's plan enlarges the garden and re-establishes the southern terrace, which is now an elegant outdoor patio for the Museum's new restaurant. Views of the garden are now available from numerous vantage points throughout the Museum. Source: MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) [website]; http://www.moma.org/ (accessed 1/29/2008) | en_US |
